A motion study for AEONIS, a concept health optimisation and longevity clinic. The octopus can regrow its own limbs, so it became the brand’s subject: a living case for repair and renewal.
I modelled and animated the turn in Blender, then rebuilt every frame as its own print: thermal heat maps, negative scans, overcast silhouettes, paper studies, mist and colour bleed. Each image changes on twos like stop motion, so the octopus turns continuously while its look never settles.
AEONIS is a fictional brand created for this piece.
The mix of textures and changing visuals sounds so unique! Such a creative way to connect the octopus with the idea of renewal. 👏
The New Book of Beasts
A Medieval Bestiary of Modern Human Nature
What if medieval bestiaries described the habits of modern people instead of mythical creatures?
For the Recraft × Contra Styles Challenge, I created Illuminated Bestiary, a custom Recraft Style inspired by public-domain illustrations from 13th–15th-century manuscripts.
I used historical references from the Public Domain Image Archive to explore medieval animal anatomy, ornamental details, ink drawings, and muted natural pigments.
Then I applied the style to eight imaginary beasts, each representing a familiar modern behavior: overthinking, people-pleasing, doomscrolling, procrastination, ghosting, perfectionism, attention-seeking, and impostor syndrome.
The result is a collection of creatures that look like they belong in a centuries-old manuscript, even though their habits are very much our own.
Such a creative idea! Love how you’ve connected medieval art with modern human habits. The concept is both unique and relatable! 👏✨
