For the vividly coloured grounds of Best Kept Secret, we summoned a goddess of the water. A 4D fountain experience in which the animation’s movement quite literally bursts out of the screen. When the goddess strikes the water’s surface, a second fountain responds with a powerful jet skyward. The animation was created through motion capture. Every movement performed by a real human, transformed into fluid, radiant energy.
Visitors paused, sat down, and let themselves be carried away. Some watched for minutes, as if time dissolved. The fountain became a meditative spectacle: a ritual of colour, water, and light that evoked wonder and quiet reflection amidst the festival’s vibrant energy.
