"Tonight I built a kingdom for the sleepless.

I gave them only one door so they could not pretend there were choices everywhere.

I scattered their likeness across the air so they would see how many selves a single doubt can become.

I placed keys in the sky and did not tell them whether they lock or open.

I crafted hourglasses without sand and let them measure their fear without numbers.

They asked me how long they had.

I answered by multiplying them." (Entry from Morpheus’ Diary)

This work constructs a psychological terrain shaped by insomnia. Within Morpheus’ kingdom, a single human presence replicates across space, reflecting recursive thought patterns and fractured perception. The multiplied figure becomes an architecture of anxiety, a mind encountering itself from every direction.

Only one door exists, a solitary threshold of potential transformation. Keys multiply overhead, symbolizing agency and the ambiguity of choice. Hourglasses without sand repeat throughout the space, rendering time present yet unreadable.

The environment operates as a suspended system of repetition, hesitation, and delay. Opportunity exists, but clarity does not. Time exists, but cannot be measured. The self persists, but refuses singularity.

Created using Unreal Engine and MetaHuman for character design, Maya for prop modelling, Substance Painter for texturing, Niagara for VFX, and Blueprint for system design and interaction. Composed in Adobe Premiere Pro, with final colour correction in Photoshop.
