Mini Gabi World — The Space In Between

Mini Gabi World is not a game. It’s not a gallery.

It’s something else.

It’s a universe I created because the real one didn’t work for me.

It started with the story of a girl named Mini Gabi, who didn’t fit in — so she decided to build her own world. Yes, she’s a character. But characters come from somewhere. They’re inspired by real life — in this case, mine.

Was I tired of not fitting in? Yes.

I tried to join groups — even ones that called themselves “misfit” communities — but no matter what, there was always a new box to fit. Left or right. Commercial or underground. Individual or collective.

You were always expected to choose. And if you didn’t, you were called indecisive.Or worse — like you were just sitting on the fence.

But what if the space in between is where some of us live?

What if I care about art and marketing?What if I want creative freedom and structure?What if I’m not here to play anyone’s binary?

That’s where Mini Gabi World started.

It’s a place where:

• 3D meets 2D

• Digital tools meet hand-drawing and sculpting

• Characters come in different shapes, moods, and colours

• Worlds evolve slowly, like people

I like nuance.

I like collage. Life feels like a mosaic. I do too.

So every zone I build in Mini Gabi World is another piece of that — new feelings, new flavours, new contradictions.

I didn’t build this to fit into the art industry.

There are parts of the art business I don’t connect with — the snobbery, the status games, the focus on where you studied over what you actually made.

I care more about:

• What inspires you

• What emotion the work holds

• What it makes you feel, or question, or remember

Mini Gabi World is a universe for people who’ve been called misfits —But don’t want to be boxed in as misfits either.

It’s for people who want to make their own reality.People who don’t want permission. People who don’t want ordinary.

🎨 Visually? I wanted something new.

Something that was mine. Not a trend. Not a revival.

I wanted to mix 3D with 2D.Realist lighting with surreal setups.Hand-drawn lines with digital textures.Characters that look soft — but say something harder.

I didn’t want to follow a style.So I created one: Toypunk Circus.

🎧 It’s an audio-visual experience.

Right now, I’m working on the Chill Out Room — one of many zones inside the universe.It’s designed to be experienced through sound, visual storytelling, spatial mood, and projection.

This universe is being built for XR, installations, and site-based experiences, using techniques like projection mapping, layered audio, and immersive lighting.

It’s not a show. It’s not an object.It’s a space to step into — and feel.

🚧 Coming Soon: Scene One

Mini Gabi World 3D is being released in chapters (Mini Gabi World Districts) — one immersive scene at a time.

The first release, The Chill Out Room (Reflection Zone), is nearly ready. It’s the first fully constructed area in this unfolding universe —and it’s just the beginning.

More districts are coming, each with their own emotion, contradiction, and style.

This isn’t a prototype. This is a living, expanding world — built with full intention.
