Legacy (Nuclear Samurai)

About the artwork
Legacy uses the language of nostalgia and reminiscence to tell a simple story about planting a tree, and really using this story as a vehicle to deliver hopes and dreams and sentimental feelings.
Through the music that was created via Udio and the visuals created in Midjourney and then animated in Luma Labs Dream Machine, I wanted to tell a story that touched on some of the sentiments, feelings and emotions i've been feeling in my own life as I watch my daughter grow up.
