nirwana gold is an award-winning multisensory VR trilogy delivering three distinct spiritual experiences, each with dedicated 3D visuals, film sequences, soundtracks, perfumes, and ice cream flavors.

Later credited as Art Director in the official submissions, I was primarily responsible for the design and development of the key visuals.

Before the title change for the second exhibition, the three short films were named “The Mind – The Soul – The Spirit”. They premiered at Munich Creative Business Week (MCBW) in 2020 but the exhibition was discontinued due to the pandemic outbreak.

The films were later re-exhibited at MCBW 2023 under the new collective title “Nirwana Gold”.

The Mind became Shanti, The Soul became Samsara, and The Spirit became Zen.

For visitors, the experience was designed as a multi-sensory installation: they were invited to sit in a vintage barber chair, equipped with a VR headset, a scent pouch specially crafted for each film, and served with an ice cream flavor matching the respective visual theme just before the 4-minute film started |

role: key visual design, team and project management, 3D modelling & sculpting, concept animation, lighting & shading for Samsara and Shanti, render wrangling, and post-production coordination
