About
I'm making a 3-chapter VR narrative about nightmares, based on C. Jung's research. The goal is not to scare the viewer, but to show the possibilities of symbolic interpretations+open a new perspective towards acceptance of uncomfortable experiences.
Impact
Tech is used together with a strong theoretical base and a compassionate, humanist perspective. Working with nightmares is a step to understand a better way to live in a society where we arent taught to connect and learn from our negative experiences
Progress
Starting phase of the project was supported by Immerse/Interact development grant organized by Nederlandse Filmfonds and Stimuleringsfonds. Prototype shown at 3 exhibitions. I worked with a sound designer and was mentored by N.Huitenga and A.Eslami.
Team
My interest in psychology and past conceptual training. The artistic quality is the focal point: my visual style is characterized by precise attention to detail, textures, and eerie, mysterious mood when building magical worlds. Experience with VR.
