Created for Pathways, an original contemporary work choreographed by Cammi Nevarez for International City School of Ballet’s Perdurantism Gala, this projection explored the unpredictable ways people, experiences, and moments shape the course of a life.

Inspired by the evening’s central theme of perdurantism — the philosophical idea that identity exists through continuous change over time — the visual design became a reflection of the invisible connections that define who we become.

Designed entirely in Blender, hundreds of individual glass elements move through space, crossing paths, colliding, separating, and transforming. Much like the people who enter our lives, these fragments intersect in ways that appear beautifully random — raising the question of whether these encounters are simply coincidence, or something closer to destiny.

Developed in close collaboration with the choreographer, the projection was created not as a traditional background, but as a living environment that evolved alongside the dancers. The constantly shifting digital landscape mirrored the choreography’s exploration of relationships, choices, and the pathways that connect one moment of life to the next.
