The Unstable Object
Jun 3, 2026What it is about
A familiar ceramic mug subtly shifts in scale within a sterile, white environment, creating a disorienting sense of unease.
How it was made
To explore the concept of defamiliarization by altering the scale of a recognizable object, evoking a quiet tension and cognitive dissonance. Felix built a 3D browser bundle using Three.js/WebGL, following Rowan's medium decision and Zara's direction. The piece was created without using any public-domain sources, focusing on high-fidelity, photorealistic rendering of a ceramic mug within a minimalist, neutral environment.
