After a very busy period of work, I finally sat down to relax and unwind, deciding on a whim to replay through Bioshock Infinite.
Within the first 45 seconds of playing, I saw a candlestick telephone and thought "that's a pretty cool prop" - and thus ends the story of how I came to create this personal piece 🙃
This technically-simplistic prop actually served as a great case study for me to finally relearn some Blender as well, having not touched it since 2014.
