Project name: Seeds of a new home
Project Description:"Imagine you are a little kid and you are the second generation on this new planet. You can benefit from a brand-new place to call, home, somewhere in the galaxy. If you think about the previous generations, they made an enormous effort so that you can freely walk and live on this planet, without any heavy costumes or pieces of equipment. You are lucky!
The image catches the moment when you and your little brother make your first steps in the history of your people from Earth, and you have in front of your eyes the key to life stored in a big container while you are surrounded by nature in the best time of the year, enjoy the little break where you will find out about yourself more than you think ."

Project name: SPACE TRAVEL - Propaganda
Project Description: With the launch of the spacecraft rocket, we're taking the first steps to expand our existence beyond Earth. The goal: establish a permanent and sustainable presence on the planet Mars. The propaganda holds the first role of this quest. Its main objective is to enroll future astronauts who will lead to the establishment of the Red Planet. The spacecraft will collect important data that will prepare the journey for future space vacationers. Lessons learned while creating a permanent research centre on Mars will be used to guide us toward our future goal of a space vacation development in outer space. This expedition will serve as a testing ground for the innovative technology and ideas that will prepare us for the long haul to Mars.

Project name: The Houseboat
Project Description: My entry for this rendering challenge is based on my recent vacation, where I spent 10 days in a campervan driving around and hiking in the alps of Switzerland. Though my project isn't a campervan I was fascinated by the idea of having the freedom to go where ever you want and have your home with you. I came up with the idea of a houseboat, which resembles a campervan, but I felt like the boat gave me more of a spaceship look. But what if you could travel in space with a houseboat, and have a piece of the earth with you. That's how I came up with the idea of having a simple garden on the houseboat. To give travelers a feel of home and comfort while on vacation.
