Abstract
"PASSAGE BEYOND | LEVITATION" is a first-person perspective walk-through experience. Influenced by Buddhist and folk cultures, the author has transformed their understanding and interpretation of the afterlife and spiritual journey into a virtual narrative space. This project immerses players and participants in a virtual alternative reality space, providing them with an experience that transitions from death to life.
World Building + Modeling
The project is primarily divided into two stages. The first stage is "PASSAGE BEYOND," which offers an alternative interpretation of the Naihe Bridge. It portrays the long and cold void of the afterlife with its harsh, coldness, and symbolic architectural design using reinforced concrete.
The second stage is "LEVITATION." Players will need to climb a tower-like structure inspired by the concept of the afterlife in Buddhism. As they ascend, symbols of light and trees representing life gradually appear, and the player's footsteps become lighter, leading them towards rebirth.
