The Mermaid Music Box

Beholding it, you are struck by how familiar it appears. It seems reminiscent of, and appears to functions in very much the same way, as music boxes of human creation. Though its inherent purpose appears to differ not, you get the feeling that there is more that separates this device and its surface counterparts than thousands of miles of water. When its key is wound, it plays a haunting refrain that is best heard under water. It is said that the feelings of those who had once enjoyed its melody have condensed as tears, collected within the box itself. It is under this liquid that its song rings clearest: a song of lost loneliness, and longing to be understood. To be, once again, found.A hand-textured game artifact, inspired by the aesthetic of Sea of Thieves. First year project at University of the Arts London: London College of Communication. Created in Maya and hand-textured in Photoshop.
