Estirão
VR Project | 2023
Unity Developer, Environment Designer, Technical Art Director, VFX Supervisor

is a virtual reality experience and interactive installation, part of Hexastra Exhibition at Monopol in September 2023.

estirão (n.) /es.ti.ˈɾɐ̃w/  from Portuguese: “stretch” or “growth spurt”
a collaborative VR experience exploring spatial memory and emotional terrain. Developed with a scenographer, installation artist, 3D designer, and sound artist, I led the technical and visual direction in Unity, embedding atmospheric layers and dynamic visual logic. The result: a symphonic, sensory world where narrative unfolds through motion, texture, and tone.

The VR experience bridges to Lisa Bot’s interactive sculpture; two works linked by breath. The sounds of inhale and exhale ease the user into the space of her kinetic structures. Her work reflects growth in an up and down continuous cycle. Rising up in the form of release- feeling successful - trying to meet outside expectations. Drowning and Suffocation from (societal) pressure, outside sources, and setbacks.
