SHENNA MAE PADAYAO
I believe that art has the potential to overcome the barriers of language, culture, and economic status in the right hands. So I strive to utilize arts, technology, and sciences to bring unseen ideas and thoughts into reality.
​
To have a better understanding of visual effects- I research everything ranging from physics, architecture, biology, botanicals, to abstract concepts and different cultures. To recreate a world, it's essential to understand one.
