Lacrimarium (CGI)
For this project, I use CGI to reimagine lacrimariums, which are vessels made for collecting tears. They are often discovered by archaeologists at Hellenistic and Roman sites, especially in burial grounds. In this project, I delve into the mysterious essence of these vessels and the complex mythology that surrounds them. I aim to depict them not just as physical objects, but as vessels that carry deep human emotions, especially those tied to funeral traditions.
