The Power of Imagery in Dr. Apples: The Eye
One of the elements I cherish most about Dr. Apples: The Eye is its focus on imagery. Inspired by the sculpture I made of Dr. Apples gripping his face, it reflects the sheer shock and physical strain of a spell gone wrong. I wanted to create something that wasn’t just “scary,” but raw and visceral, conveying the intensity of an unexpected magical consequence. The image captures the moment right before Dr. Apples' reality shatters, and the audience gets to feel the surreal horror of that transformation.
