I’ll be showing two of my paintings reimagined inside Unity as interactive worlds. Maya Reimagined takes inspiration from Mayan culture and transforms it into a colorful, surreal 3D space you can explore. Let Them Stay turns one of my canvas works into a living digital painting, with shifting colors and movement that play with the idea of home and belonging. Both projects are about taking my art off the wall and letting people step inside the art and story itself.
