Caustics II

FILE SAO PAULO 2019 | LED SHOW

‘Caustics II’ is an experimental animation that distorts our perception of reality. I am interested in exploring 3D environments screened onto 2D surfaces. These environments represent reality but are physically impossible outside of the computer. They may be represented through infinite reflections or by composing many elements from various sources onto a single image.
‘Caustics II’ is focused on creating composition through shape and color.
