Strive: Transmission Terrace

Featured from “SYNDICATE XVI” 2025 Illustration MFA Visual Thesis Exhibition, FIT

This card is a tribute to the music that I listened to non-stop when writing the original story to the game in 2017: Starset. When this game was more heavily influenced by Destiny and leaned entirely on the science fiction side, Starset’s music was almost like a soundtrack to what my mind was envisioning. The illustration tries to represent their star logo into the structure of a tuning fork, which sends electrical signals down the terrace circuits. The name also is a direct call back to their album titled “Transmissions”

An artistic representation of a futuristic monument with large metallic structures and steps leading up to the monument, set against a dark cloudy sky.
