Abzu - Into the Water
Dive into the Ocean of Time
To Know, Water..
It’s a special illustration used with my graphic design in another production by VVGO (Virtual Video Game Orchestra) : “Then Were Created The Gods In The Midst Of Heaven” from ABZÛ featuring composer Austin Wintory and 209 community recordings! Thanks to this unique virtual choir & orchestra underwater performance -> [link] I found myself swimming (and singing) in the great waters of Abzu again..

Timaeus 1: tetrahedron prototype.
I’m the kind of person who’s too impatient to wait for there to be good daylight and make sure there’s no crap in the background for me to take photos and post them, so here are some photos taken at night, under artificial light, with some bags in the background (my office is my studio is my lounge. Mess is inevitable).
Anyway, somewhat delightfully ironic to call this a prototype, since prototype can mean both the first thing you make which you then go on to perfect, or the thing from which all future models are derived: almost like a platonic form. The form which is to be perfected in future models and the perfect form from which all later (imperfect) models will be derived are represented by the same word.
Why is that ironic? Because a tetrahedron is one of five Platonic solids (tetrahedron, hexahedron [more commonly known as a cube], octohedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron): it's a platonic form. It's the prototype for all tetrahedrons. Except I'm hoping that the next ones I make will be more perfect that this. My prototype/Platonic form is imperfect and rough. But it is still the first manifestation of the basic concept from which all the others will be built.
I will (hopefully) explain more about the Timaeus (A Platonic dialogue where these solids are mentioned) as I make more and expand/explore/refine.
