Flow is a reoccurring dream set in a vast open space with divisive states of congruency. Imbalanced bubbles rise and fall from clouds in the sky. The bubble morphology toys with the notion of internal spaces, thoughts, and memories. It implies freedom, evokes a sense of weightlessness, and signals transformation. While some forms float down, others float up, continually transforming from immense void space to intimate architectural spaces.

Flow represents a snapshot of what I think of metaverse and bit of part of me. It’s more than a 2d image, beyond a 3-dimensional space, deals with time and movement and(4d), and something that you can experience, potential ability to be a tactile feeling, sense the piece with the 5 senses. Multi-sensible capabilities are unlockable with future or high-tech gloves, VR Headsets, and body audio to feel the vibrational aspects.

A mix of digital and AI tools were used to produce this short animation.
