Dreamscape

a trilogy of lucid, dreamlike experiences

Love Collide

“Love Collide” is another personal project about a dream that I experienced and transformed into a visual piece. The goal was to translate the dream into a psychedelic artwork through a mosaic of bold and vibrant visuals, and to define how people express their love as well as capturing the feeling.

Enter The Void

This motion graphics collage piece is a personal project about a dream I experienced based on liminal spaces, which then became a visual artwork. From a first-person perspective, I designed this artwork with the intention of capturing the essence of music, dance and creativity as if the viewer were in the space.

Designed and edited with CapCut.

Visions

This visualiser is the final project in the dreamscape trilogy of motion graphics I designed; an interpretation of someone’s wellbeing and mental state after smoking. Feelings of relaxation, serenity and happiness (as well being buzzed and energised), mixed with colourful imagery and some hallucination visuals, can be identified through the silhouette’s physicality and movement during the video.

It feels like…

Something In The Water

In this short visual artwork, I aimed to express the feelings of submersion and anxiety. It depicts themes of the human psyche and of water; experiencing fleeting thoughts, the psychological distress we as humans may encounter, and trying to clear your mind with water. Association or exposure to blue space is linked to more positive mental health and well-being.

Motionality

A compilation of short visuals expressing an enlightened state of mind, eased conciousness and a vivid imagination. Stitched together in a series of motions, this visualiser brings about a zen-like mindset and portrays a variety of colourful and vibrant thoughts.

Liminality

Based on liminal spaces, I designed this motion graphic and collage-art piece with the intent of depicting themes of memory and identity. Liminality is a quality of being in between two places or stages, on the verge of transitioning to something new, while ‘liminal’ describe things that exist at the threshold between one thing and another.

Reminiscient of familiar-yet-strange spaces which can (potentially) connect to one’s own feelings and senses of nostalgia.

The song featured is ‘Six Forty Seven' by Instupendo.

Scottish Wild Camping

Wild Camping is legal across Scotland, however there are guidelines people should follow. As part of Scotland's access legislation, the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003, you have a right of responsible access to most land and inland water and are allowed to camp on most unenclosed land.

Playboi Carti

& NBA YoungBoy

ALIVE (Visualiser Remix)

Designed and edited this music visualiser for Playboi Carti and Youngboy Never Broke Again’s ‘ALIVE’ single from 21st May, 2025. On “ALIVE,” Playboi Carti and YoungBoy Never Broke Again trade verses about their successes over a hard-hitting, synth-heavy instrumental, which samples Playboi Carti’s “CRANK” from his third studio album ‘Music.’ This visualiser functions as a remixed version with additional visuals and imagery to match the song’s grungy energy.

Backrooms

Based on the copypasta of the same name, this visualiser goes hand-in-hand with the themes of liminal spaces and crossing the threshold of inbetween spaces. In relation to the music, the song featured is also called “BACKR00MS” by Playboi Carti - its booming, dark-trap beats evoke the same eerie nature of the unknown that ruminates in these spaces, creating a creepy mood and atmosphere. From walls shifting to rooms opening and closing, this visualiser was designed as a passion project, and uploaded around the time of the Backrooms film being released in theatres and cinemas.

‘Feelings’ Music Video

I had the pleasure of collaborating with my good friend Agostino Crolla to direct, design and produce a music video for my Graded Unit in year one of college. Titled ‘Feelings,’ the song includes singers Maria Turnbull and Agostino Crolla himself.

Experimented with scrapbook/collage-style art and motion graphics for the production and design of this music video.

Shot on Panasonic Lumix G80.
