the weight of wanting…
Morgana is a stylized 3D character visualizing the emotional decay brought on by unchecked desire. Commissioned by a renown designer client inspired by a poetic narrative of greed and self-destruction, the piece captures a moment of haunting beauty and stillness when the pursuit ends, and all that remains is the consequence.
The character holds a human heart close to her chest, not with tenderness, but with the solemn reverence of possession. Her eyes are closed in serene detachment, yet her opulent, sculptural hair and regal posture contrast sharply with the rawness of the object in her hands. The dress she wears flows like stone elegant, yet rigid symbolizing how desire can calcify the soul.
Her story is one of internal conflict: a woman who clutched too tightly to everything, only to discover that in getting what she wanted, she lost who she was. Riches, beauty, power all once glittering aspirations now lie scattered, irrelevant, as she is left with a cold, heavy heart.
The image speaks in symbolism and sculptural form, a digital parable about possession, loss, and the tragic cost of confusing value with worth.
The final piece was called Morgana’s Obsession accompanied by the following text:
“Greed, a relentless spectre, haunts the corridors of her soul, whispering promises of more, of better, of enough. Possession becomes a prison, her walls built high with insatiable desires.
She clutched at treasures, each one a weight that sinks her deeper into the mire of her own making. The glint of gold and the sheen of jewels dull the light in her eyes, obscuring the beauty of the world she overlooks.
In her pursuit, she lost herself, wanting only to possess and when she finally got what he wanted, her heart grew cold and heavy.
In the end her riches scattered like autumn leaves, meaningless against the vast, indifferent sky.”
