Perfect Prisms: Crystal Chapel

Refraction of light and reflection color break up the serene environment and awaken it with new energy.

Vertical Mile
Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural concept for a mile high building known as The Illinois, (art)n envisions a contemporary Chicago with the Mile-High Tower standing as a essential part of the city's already impressive skyline. The tower was constructed digitally with Wright's design as the muse and brought to life in a truly elevated way that could only come from the magic of the PHSCologram medium.
