Artist Statement: This scene shows my Persona, a caveman neanderthal that represents my feelings towards learning coding. I used simple geometry for readability and to play more into my “discovering fire” vibe. The pterodactyl and clouds keep the world feeling lively. Eyes track the viewers’ moves and invite intractability. Keys shift lava and speed to explore calm vs danger and If you click the mouse around it offers more customizability, so the user feels more involved in my creativity.
