In Fractal Monarch, David Ariew demonstrates his fascination with working with mirror boxes, also known as infinite mirror rooms. In person, the mirrors create a strange effect, expanding the space that the viewer sits inside, and immersing them in the lighting and design of the set. In CG, the artist takes this effect even further by expanding and contracting fully reflective rooms, and playing with geometry that would be impossible to build in reality. He uses fisheye lenses with extreme focal lengths, plays with tumbling cameras, syncing lighting hits to music and changing the shape of the rooms over time.
