Image notes
About the images
Every image on this website comes from the final image library supplied by ZAN DARK, together with the names and descriptions in it.
Some images show a piece in a staged or imagined setting: they present the piece, and are not photographs of completed projects unless stated otherwise.
The walk-through at the top of the home page is a conceptual 3D space built entirely from code — geometry, materials and light, with lighting computed in Blender. It is an imagined environment, not a ZAN DARK project or building. The paintings and ceramics in it were generated for this demonstration too; they are not real works by ZAN DARK or by anyone else.
Typefaces
Instrument Serif, Instrument Sans, Alexandria and IBM Plex Sans Arabic — all distributed under the SIL Open Font License.
