Inspired by the Chinese folklore of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I designed and crafted a cuckoo clock that brings this legendary tale to life. From concept development to modeling and texturing, I was responsible for every stage of this project.

I chose this particular story not only because of its rich narrative but also because of my personal connection to it—it's a tale that feels like home. Beyond depicting the legend, I aimed to capture the essence of Chinese cultural aesthetics through symbolic elements such as jade-like materials, a carefully curated color palette, and intricate ornamental details.
