Sonata of the Stones - UE5

Sonata of the Stones is an original real-time environment that I created in Unreal Engine 5. Framed as an iconic historical Armenian monument turned inside out. A geological anomaly, twisted by unnatural forces into a blinding gate of divine illumination. What emerges from the shadows are monolithic pillars towering over a sea of ash and molten candles. Beneath the seal of the golden sun, light bounces through the stone like a bass heavy, ethereal composition trapped into thousands of years of aged old stone.
