Luca Smith Charon's venture
In Charon's venture I examine the complex interplay between life, death, and the human quest for transcendence. My intent was to challenge conventional notions of existence and afterlife by juxtaposing the allure of hope with the irony of mortality. The protagonist's journey through the shadowy veil into the real world represents our eternal desire for new beginnings. My choices throughout my body of work, including eerie lighting and flickering low fps (frames per second), were crafted to express a sense of ambiguity and mystery. My work invites the audience to contemplate the enigmatic nature of our journey through life and death.
