Arya Hawker is an animation director and multimedia artist currently based in Vancouver, BC. Working under the creative identity 20EYE, they specialize in experimental CG animation, stylized worldbuilding, and post-apocalyptic narrative design. With a multidisciplinary background spanning visual effects, motion design, and technical art direction, their work is marked by a fascination with decaying infrastructure, digital mythologies, and atmospheric storytelling.
Their flagship project, Caustica, is a serialized animated film rooted in industrial landscapes and emerging folklore, developed using a hybrid pipeline of custom-built assets and procedural systems.
