This speculative Unity experience investigates the intersection of biological agency and spiritual practice through the “Vessel of Prayers.” Drawing inspiration from the traditional form of African gourds and the metabolic parallels between human digestive systems and mycelial networks, the project explores how faith, hope, and dreams might manifest as living, organic architectures 100 years into the future. I was especially inspired by current applications of these third spaces in the virtual context, Roblox, Animal Crossing, Minecraft to name a few.

Victoria Dos Santos work coined the term, "technomancy" this idea that technology will become so advanced it will be indistinguishable between magic. In this project in particular, I sought out to bridge two worlds of religion and science to stimulate the philosophical frameworks of Baudrillard. As I continue to read through his work, I am learning how to provoke our realities under the microscope.
