CONCEPT

Affirmation Station exists in a fictional future era many centuries. The initial design started out as a large starship design. The hand done cutaway illustration for this vessel won the ribbon for "Best Techical Science Fiction Art" by an Amatuer at the Mincon 28 Art Show. As I began to use Corel Draw for 2D illustration, The Affirmation was one of my first designs to get converted to computer-generated art. It reappeared later as a TrueSpace 3D CGI model and now exists as a Rhino 3D CGI model. Affirmation Station is my most literal Baha'i-inspired speculative science fiction design based on Baha'i Houses of Worship. It is also the most obvious symbol of my Baha'i identity as a speculative spaceship designer.
