Underwater Shrine of Remembrance


The Underwater Shrine of Remembrance is a 3D immersive environment built in Unreal Engine 5, simulating a place of spiritual worship in the depths of a vibrant ocean. Taking inspiration from the disaster of the Old Summer Palace and Notre Dame, as well as current issues of climate change and oceanic pollution, this underwater shrine symbolizes a spiritual place of remembrance built upon the relics of an environmental disaster. It serves as a reminder for us to remember our culture with all its falls and glories, as well as seek spiritual and communal growth through past irreversible events.
