✨ Modeling Evolution: From Prototype to Immersive Space
In this project, I gradually developed an immersive installation based on the conceptual theme of “Tethered Soul.” The following is a step-by-step breakdown of how I refined the model—from the initial sculpt to the fully contextualized spatial design.
🧩 Initial Form & Local Experiments
I started by sculpting a basic inverted face structure, exploring ways to convey cracks, hollows, and a sense of collapse. Early versions featured a high-poly smooth mesh to test lighting and shadow behavior, especially under the chin area where supporting elements were inserted for future construction logic.
Next, I simplified the face into a low-poly aesthetic, emphasizing angularity and abstraction. This stylization gave the head a sculptural, almost monolithic presence. I then added the eye socket and cage-like rib arches, evoking a metaphor of constraint and tension—key emotional themes of the project.
🌀 Base Platform & Circulation Design
To enhance the spatial experience, I designed a layered base structure with fluid, curved walkways to guide visitors around the central installation. I also mapped out the placement of the meditation and brand info zones. These early layout experim
ents ensured spatial flow and accessibility.
🌱 Interior Details & Emotional Contrast
With the form stabilized, I moved to detailing the interior. The ceiling dome was decorated with twisting vine-like light structures, enhancing the surreal, immersive feeling. Potted plants and greenery were added around the installation to create a contrast between natural life and psychological pressure—a core duality of the work.
🌌 Final Rendering & Narrative Completion
Lastly, I rendered the entire scene in Cycles, adding detailed textures such as rocks, foliage, and lighting effects to bring the space to life. The final installation integrates three key functions: artistic display, immersive reflection, and brand communication. The fractured face, piercing eye, and enveloping structure together narrate a journey of introspection, tension, and symbolic entrapment.
