The insides.
The facade.
Antimatter is a representation of our desperation for keeping a good outlook, even when we are not okay.
[Note : Antimatter is a looping video. Steemit does not support gifs. The link to the loop can be found in the end of the post]
My approach to this primarily started with blocking out the aesthetics. 2020 saw a lot of Iridescent and Nu-Psychedelia aesthetic styles popping up and gain traction. Without a doubt, these were big inspiration for the overall style. But I was also inspired by the minimalist approach some designers were taking towards story telling. Everything in the design doesn’t have to be clear and obvious. Sometimes, the details carry the good stuff.
Although the loop is 2D, and I deliberately gave it a textured, 2D look with a low frame rate, the animation was done mostly in 3D.

Siah Armajani's 1970 concepts were a huge inspiration for me. You can read about Antimatter a little more in my medium article : https://perenetic.medium.com/antimatter-perenetics-first-art-drop-4e7e02270744
