Photogrammetry • Creator, Unreal Artist
"re..." is a distance... it is a feeling, a meditation, a daydream. It is my way of coping with growing older. It's a collection of the past, a portrait of a memory, a longing for a place distanced by time.
This is an ongoing project, a combination of photogrammetric scans of my family inside Unreal Engine 5 to meditate on the liminal space between goodbye and hello.
