The vault series
Hinhan
A hybrid digital artwork exploring the intersection between physical craft and digital evolution. Originating from an original hand-drawn illustration, the piece was transformed and brought to life through Al-driven animation and texturing, guided by meticulous creative prompt engineering.
The artwork features Hinhán, a mechanical wind-up owl bridging ancestral symbolism with a cyberpunk neon aesthetic. Drenched in vibrant violet, magenta, and turquoise, the owl's expressive blinks and the turning of its golden clockwork key create a striking dialogue between human mark-making, retrofuturism, and emerging digital medium.
