GATE - Everyone is Trapped in Someone Else's Paradise

a Residency/Commission for The Spectacular House's GATE Gallery / animation + 3D modeling / December 2019 - January 2020

Shown as part of the PIKSEL Festival for Free/Open Source Art & Technology / November 2021

Everyone is Trapped in Someone Else’s Paradise is a video installation of three looped-animations. The animations are made using the open source software Blender with some photoscanned assets from the free Quixel Megascans library.

The animations depict three portraits of a being seemingly stuck in an endless situation beyond their control. These three scenes speak to the timeless impulse to wish for what you don’t have and to blind to what you do have.
