Travis Vermilye

Emergence is a digital exploration of creatures and forms inspired by life in the sea. I’m fascinated by the patterns, colors, and shapes, of small creatures that inhabit ocean waters and seem almost alien compared to what we see on land. We begin along the shore in tall sea grasses where fish-like eggs begin to hatch. As we move deeper into the waters, fantastical forms emerge in an ocean trench in an almost meditative steady pace.
