This is not just a 3D digital artwork—it is a memorial, a cry, and a prayer wrapped into light and shadow.

“After the Dance” was born from unspeakable pain. It is my response to the Nova Festival massacre that took place on October 7th in Israel—a moment that shattered the rhythm of joy and left a permanent scar on our collective soul. What was meant to be a celebration of life, music, and freedom was brutally interrupted by hatred. Through this piece, I wanted to freeze that rupture in time—to give it form, weight, and memory.

Every detail in this piece is intentional. The dissonance between beauty and horror, between motion and stillness, is meant to evoke the tragedy of innocence lost. You’ll find remnants of music echoing in the composition, even in silence.
The dancers frozen in time carry both the spirit of those we lost and the resilience of those who survived.

Creating this artwork was not easy. It was emotional. It was raw. But I believe as artists, we have a responsibility to transform sorrow into remembrance. To ensure the world never forgets, not just the violence, but the lives, the dreams, the music that was stolen that day.

This is my tribute to them.
This is their story, retold in pixels and pain.
