My Scrap Castle , 2022
Pixel Art/ Digital Piece

My piece was inspired by one of my most vivid, confusing dreams. In it, I am trapped in a plane that crash-landed long ago into a mighty oak tree. The tree has held the cockpit in its dense verdant leaves ever since. Burning debris falls from the sky in constant streams. I wish to escape the cockpit but am unable to move. The oak's strong branches hold me down as debris rains past the windshield - falling past the horizon.
With the pixel artistry, I opted for minimal shading to mimic the lack of finer details most dreams possess. Size was also difficult to display since I used a commercial airliner to model my plane, but I found this to work well with the idea of an abnormally strong tree able to support the airliner's weight.
