Fide is an architect with a deep passion for 3D visualization. Her dream job is to work as a 3D artist, combining architecture with film and XR environment creation. Inspired by a cozy cabin she found online, which had been on sale for months with its price reduced twice, Fide envisioned a renovation that would transform the space into a serene retreat, blending indoor comfort with the beauty of nature. Guided by the theme “disconnect to reconnect,” No Cell Phone this Weekend is her first static render animation which showcases the cabin as a peaceful escape from daily life.
