This 3D work draws from the Bauhaus spirit—clarity, structure, and purpose—yet softened with playful, ocean-inspired forms and candy-like color. Simple geometric shapes shift into a gentle, imaginative landscape that feels both calm and expressive. There is nostalgia in this piece: although I was born in the 90s, the furniture in my childhood home carried traces of Bauhaus simplicity. Creating this work felt like returning to those memories—blending past and present, innocence and innovation, into a dreamlike space where time overlaps softly.

My project draws from a traditional tale passed down through my grandparents. There once was a figure created from palm leaves and fibers, invoked to quiet children when they misbehaved.
Yet, I choose to see the woman in that story differently. To me, she is not a symbol of fear, but of strength and beauty—like a rose that leaves its trace wherever it blooms.
This piece is a tribute to women who stand independently, shaping their worlds with intention and resilience, transforming ordinary things into remarkable forms of growth and meaning.

This work presents a 3D scene created in Autodesk Maya, where I modeled the guitar, mouse, bottle, and chess pieces from scratch and applied wood and leather textures for a realistic feel. The Islamic patterned wooden backdrop adds cultural depth and visual rhythm. The phrase on the guitar, “Calmness is the safe haven,” reflects inner balance—music as a refuge amid life’s noise. The chess pieces symbolize careful thought and strategy. Together, the scene blends emotional expression, mindful decision-making, and cultural identity into a unified visual narrative.
