I began this piece as part of an idea to explore the chakras through 3D artwork. This creature represented the root chakra, associated with red. I developed the concept and modeled the creature myself, with full creative freedom over its appearance and presentation. I later released the piece as an NFT under SGranada.
Original artist statement
Preserved as originally published:
Our senses can only comprehend a portion of what we define as reality. The roots of our creation go beyond of what we are and what we know, we are just a tiny awareness of what this universe has to offer.
The root of everything is yet still to be understood, every observer has its own interpretation of it, for all I know is that we can create instances of its own imagination.
