Building a portfolio for an artist always guarantees an abundance of exciting ideas. As a web designer, it is imperative that I have the ability to take my clients ideas + bring them to fruition. Both art + design benefit from expressing emotions + telling stories. In fact, one could argue that this is the purpose of art. But it’s far from the purpose of design. For designers, this is merely one tool to help achieve a specific goal.

The multidisciplinarity arsenal of Caspar’s work inspired the homepage to effectively be a menu of each category. After defining the site map we used ephemeral objects that represent each field respectively + filmed them rotating by the power of a motor. This footage was then compressed + edited to have an absolute white background so we could impose these elements on a webpage. Using interactive javascript functions which are influenced by the user’s mouse position on the x-axis, the velocity is relative to the values taken.
This website utilises Kirby which is the preferred content management system (CMS) for Mango Media.
An immersive journey into experimental art crafted with Javascript. This piece invites participants into a mesmerizing 3D realm where a marble sphere, symbolising introspection, centres a room amidst glowing spheres. As orbs collide and bounce around aimlessly searching for purpose, a commentary on anti-socialmediaism emerges, contrasting the solitary marble's independence with the chaotic thirst for attention. In this digital landscape, the pursuit of individualism stands out as a beacon of beauty, a reminder that conformity leads to losing oneself in the crowd. 'Individualism' offers a thought-provoking exploration of self-discovery and the power of embracing uniqueness, whether experienced in virtual reality or through a browser interface, granting introspection and inspiration.

This 3D project captures the mesmerizing interplay between urban environments and the natural world. Since I have had my dog Bernadette, I've found myself escaping the city to explore forests, beaches, and mountains on a daily basis. In these natural settings, I'm surrounded by vibrant green hues, contrasting starkly with the rigid textures of urban landscapes. This project reimagines the city's tough materials (steel, concrete, and glass) as delicate, transient forms, prompting viewers to contemplate the impermanence of urban structures in the face of nature's relentless forces. Through thoughtfully crafted textures, this visual narrative invites introspection on the transience of cities and their eventual harmonization with the natural world.
