"stillness matters
What Beatriz says about her work : "In retrospect, this project began a few years ago, not exactly as an idea, but more as a desire to represent a particular feeling. It was like a place I could sense, but couldn’t fully describe. Something between a memory and a dream.
Over the years, I tried to reach it through drawings, paintings, sculptures, and various other mediums. Stories began to form. Characters emerged. But I kept searching for a medium that could carry the full weight of what I was trying to say.
Now I realize this place is where my mind goes when I create. The feeling I was chasing brought me here, and gave me the time and patience to let this project grow.
Each element in this world is drawn by hand, then scanned and shaped into a 3D space. A landscape that lives between the imaginary and the real. Time moves differently here. Stillness matters. The act of observing becomes meaningful.
Each texture, each object carries the rhythm of handmade slowness. VR is not an escape. It’s a mirror. It bends time, holds attention, and makes space for quiet presence."
