A background study built around a specific character and mood: a teenager's bedroom at night, quiet and cozy, belonging to someone who spends their evenings reading about space and waiting for proof of life beyond Earth.

​

The scene is layered with personal references — art from Steven Universe, the iconic "E.T. de Varginha" from my hometown in Minas Gerais, Super Mario Bros, and other details that gave the space its personality. The goal was a room that felt genuinely lived-in rather than decorated, where every object has a story.

Paired with: Fireflies by Owl City — because it felt right.
