Invented Places — Perspective

This project explores how perspective, overlap, and color theory can work together to shape visual emotion and spatial imagination. Inspired by the concept of underwater architecture—such as oceanic hotels where travelers live among sea creatures—I envisioned a dreamlike world built beneath the waves. Through this idea, I began to shift from traditional, flat painting toward a more immersive digital environment, using texture and structure to express depth and atmosphere.

Throughout the process, I experimented with value, hue, and saturation in Photoshop to manipulate mood and spatial tension. By adjusting color temperature and light gradients, I created a sense of transparency and rhythm that mirrored the fluidity of the ocean. The integration of texture also played an essential role, allowing architectural surfaces to reflect light realistically and enhancing the work’s three-dimensional quality.

Beyond technique, this project represents my ongoing fascination with architecture, structure, and space. What began as an exploration of perspective evolved into a reflection on how form can communicate emotion and narrative. It taught me that perspective is not only a technical principle but also a storytelling language—one that can turn a visual composition into an imagined world.
