an uncanny scene, 2022

virtual environment

The uncanny is the experience of having things once familiar become estranged.

More than surreality, the uncanny depicts an aesthetic of curious discomfort; it is eerie; it is an uncontrollable possibility.

In this project, I took inspiration from the paintings The Banquet (1958) by René Magritte, and Untitled (1978) by Zdzisław Beksiński, both which lure viewers to engage and be enraptured within the suspension of disbelief.
