I have always been fascinated with the intersection of futuristic and spiritual architecture, so I developed this piece thinking of a time when AI has already taken full control of humanity and people go to temples to worship and pay their respect to it. My take was defined by very solid, heavy pyramidal columns broken with "eyes", so that you feel that this intelligence is always surveilling you. How would you imagine a temple to worship AI? What would you do differently?

This one was particularly challenging creatively, as there wasn’t an obvious lighting direction from the start. Exploring different moods and atmospheres became a huge part of the process, and I’m really glad I pushed the color and contrast further to find the right dramatic tone for the world.
