over 3 years in the making -
October 2019 - August 2023

Three years. Three years of relentless effort, consuming passion, and labor, sometimes burning the midnight oil, to construct this project, one pixel at a time.
Initiated in the autumn of 2019, and a little over three years after embarking on this journey, I can finally declare its completion.
Nearly four minutes of fully CGI animation, three years punctuated by moments of discouragement, periods when creativity and the desire to breathe life into this universe were at their zenith. Sleepless nights, hours dedicated to research and work, infused with a deep love for this passion, all to behold the matured fruit of the endeavors.
This project is above all a determination to see through what was begun, to translate this small idea into images, despite the enormity of the work it would require.
Thus, after three years of anticipation, I can finally state: I present to you Aeon.
