A beautiful parallel to abstract art is how everyone sees something different in these shapes, each person drawn to their own details and interpretations.

Drawn to the forms of the classic Rorschach inkblot tests, I felt compelled to explore these symmetrical shapes through animation. I wanted to breathe life into them — and, above all, push them into a three-dimensional world.

Since the shapes weren’t perfectly symmetrical, I explored ways to mirror my structures early in the process and then built the fine details on top.

In these tests, the inkblots revealed soft, fluid shapes. In contrast, I wanted the surface of my objects to feel hard and stone-like, while still allowing their movement to be organic and flowing.
