The Hermes project became one of the most distinctive works I produced while working in scenic productions. I closely collaborated with a team at MDM Props Ltd, as well as designers and artist Johnatan Baldock, who originated the initial concept. The project consisted of five incredibly large panels designed for window displays. I was selected among other talented scenic artists to lead the creation of the background narratives and produce the imagery. I've produced a scenery carried a subtle Parisian essence, hinting at the elegance and ambience of Paris without overpowering the overall composition. It was an incredibly challenging process, as I had only one other person assisting me with the backdrops. The project took over a month to complete, resulting in a fantastically surreal display.

This display is again, quite theatrical. It have presented it as if it were different acts in a play, starting from morning and continuing until dawn. There is a kind of magic that happens at various points, with some surreal moments. For instance, there is someone playing chess with a horse. There are fun, yet surreal, moments in the work which I've absolutely loved. This was my third time that I've collaborated for Hermes. What is really nice is that Hermès is very trusting and open to ideas. While there is a conversation, I have never felt limited by what I've presented. Ultimately the achievement was there - we have managed to transport you into another world.
