Concept Testing (2022 - 2023)

‍

Medium: Digital

During the period between the exhibition and the application. I wanted to create a smaller scale project where I can do three things; to create a character, to brushen up on some background, and to create a scenario of how such a character would move in a space. I was inspired by two main things, eggs and the golems in Jewish folklore & the use of masks and avatars in ancient cultures. I came up of an idea of a heavily armed warrior who could voluntarily use himself as a vessel for malignant spirits. Fighting against a modern interpretation of a golem.

I wanted to demonstrate the weight and scale of the item used within the engagement, to experiment with timing during the swings as well as delving into some minor character acting giving a bit of life and personality.

The helmet of the red character cracks open and the goop shoots out is how I visualize an egg.
