Compos Mentis Mechanika was conceived as a moment frozen in time—a scene set in a warehouse on a remote, neo-futuristic planet where the rain falls heavily. Inside, an old man in a mecha suit helps a cyborg repair her malfunctioning arm, running diagnostics through a hand-cranked computer. The piece depicts a rare friendship between humankind and other compos mentis forms of life in a future world.

Completed diorama scratchbuilt from styrene right before priming and painting.
A fully scratch-built monitor was constructed around a 0.96-inch display that played looping futuristic animations. The table legs were designed to resemble a pair of hydraulic mecha arms with human-like fingers supporting the tabletop on each side.
