Digital homage to Hieronymus Bosch and Wu-Tang clan
The Garden of Unearthish Delights
CG Installation for a game engine reimagining Bosch's painting The Garden of Earthly Delights. In the original painting, finished between 1490-1510 strawberries play a crucial role, representing lust. Building on the theme of desire and temptations, the artist remakes it as a garden of strawberries and cream, referencing Wu-Tang Clan's "Cash Rules Everything Around Me". Digital clones of the artist's cat, Strawberry, populate and explore the garden-variety puns and easter eggs, referencing artist's earlier works and imagery, with each tower built out of ready-made 3D assets with the Bosch's prototype in mind.
