Keeper of Memory

FOCUS: The maintenance of cultural memory in a world where information is fragile, manipulated, and quickly forgotten.

APPROACH:

• Initial silhouettes by hand to explore form and symbolism

• 3D kitbashing and Blender experiments: combining books, archival objects, and remnants of past technologies

• Refined visuals and narrative through atmospheric digital renderings and a cinematic trailer.

CONCEPT: The Keeper of Memory protects the vital stories that define humanity. Their body consists of the following:

• Books-repositories of knowledge

• Artifacts & media devices-traceable timelines of culture

• Cape & markings - guardianship, concealment, and sacred symbolism

• Pages flutter like living thoughts, remembering and refusing to be erased.

• They stands as proof that the stories of every culture count and that to silence voices is to erase existence.

OUTCOME: A fully realized digital character, including:

• Sketch → 3D → Render pipeline

• Cinematic reveal trailer, mysterious and reverent in tone.

• A world of narration wherein memory itself is an entity worth protection.

It is the Keeper who makes intangible heritage a physical presence, an appeal to protect stories, value diversity, and remember who we are.
