Loneliness in the Sanctuary

 

Loneliness in the Sanctuary (2016)

a church location

Personal Project, 3D Modeling

I wanted to design something random and more visual, like rooms, scenes, or offices. I decided to design a church sanctuary knowing that most of the elderly buildings and historical sites are senior churches.

Giving more of a lonely feeling was what I was aiming for. I dimmed the sunlight to give more of an evening setting. The three lights on the alter are the only lights on inside the sanctuary; the two ceiling lights and the glow light in the middle of the fish symbol. I also made the window red to urge the evening appearance more.



My image was a typical church sanctuary involving the roof post, the carpeting, the pulpit podium, the fish symbol, the pews, the Bibles that sit on the back of the pews, the doors on each side of the alter (not all typical sanctuaries have it like that), and also made most of the objects from wooden texture.



 

 

Looking from the alter, you can see the dynamic of the tarp that lays over the pulpit podium. Also, It's a good view to see the front of the pews. Not to mention, the evening light that would shade in.

Imagine being in here by yourself and it's almost this dark. You're just roaming the entire room as the sky starts to shade in.
