Method

Using a simple 3D model I will create an abstract scene that explores how light and dark can be used to evoke emotions within environments 

Context

Shaun Tan's Image 'Flight'

In this piece Tan demonstrates how the absence of colour and the use of light and dark tones can give distorted and imaginary spaces a sense of depth and emotion.

As I am exploring how distorted spaces can evoke emotional responses in users throughout my Studio Project, this work ties in well as I explore how dark and light can create disturbing emotional responses.

Response

Distorting a simple model in Maya and exporting it into Unity, I created a distorted scene that relies only on shadows and light. To further enhance these tones, I brought the image into Photoshop and added extra highlights and overlayed textures to create a cave like environment that I hope evokes emotions of isolation and forboding within the viewer.
