Mind Games
“I wanted to create something in my style of 3D art that fits with the Hau5trap vibe. I am heavily inspired by spirituality and the human mind so I wanted to create pieces that play off the theme of “Mind Games” and the power of the human mind yet with a fun creative flow that fits with house music.”
