NFT Collection: Beautiful Planet
WWF Charity Fundraising
This collection seamlessly blends 21st-century tools, such as virtual reality, with the wonders of the natural world, igniting appreciation for the beauty and significance of a biodiverse and thriving planet. Lorna has used digital design tools to create paradoxically organic-feeling, painterly 3D models, envisioning endangered animals flourishing within their natural habitats. Its overarching purpose is to raise awareness for endangered species and their preservation.
20% of proceeds will go to World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) which supports the featured animals in the collection: Sumatran Tiger, Eastern Lowland Gorilla, Sumatran Elephant, Hawksbill Turtle and Black Rhino.
“The Beautiful Planet project created by artist, Lorna, reminds us, even when we can’t see things directly, our actions and lifestyle impact all living species.”
— Lucy Wheeler, Co Founder The Immersive Kind
“Cartoon-like shapes, with saturated colors and smooth textures, express the inner world of the artist and the personal perception of the encounter between human and nature.”
— Beth Jochim
