Mardini is an annual art challenge organized by SideFX, featuring daily prompts designed to inspire the artwork. 
This was my third time participating in the challenge. For this challenge, I experimented with vertical renders intended for sharing on Instagram Stories, while exploring a visual style inspired by motion graphics, abstract art and concert visuals. 
The challenge also provided an opportunity to learn Houdini's new renderer, Karma.
