My work often is centered around Digital manifestos, body inclusivity and alternate body design, viewing the avatar as both object, garment and body.
I work with CLO3D, Blender, Maya, Substance painter, Lens studio and Spark AR.
The digital body is a complex entity. A skin as well as a garment. An inhabitable creature. Is it garment, body or both? Where is the line between the object and the wearer? Inhabit is a Master thesis project focusing on what it means to inhabit the digital object, and its position as both object, body and garment in the digital space. Through the topics of 3D modeling, avatar and digital fashion, it will explore the foundations of this research through a casual lens. Through 5 rooms and shapes and motions it explores the inhabitable object. How it lives. How it moves and interacts with the space. the different states of expressions. Consumming. Decipating. Shaping and reshaping itself. A constant flux that can change with it’s inhabitant.
