S a k a y r u

I’m a digital artist based in Leuven, Belgium, creating under the name Sakayru.

My work explores how technology can tell stories, evoke emotion, and build immersive experiences. In my practice I experiment with digital workflows and push boundaries in virtual and hybrid spaces. Whether through VR, motion design, or experimental installations, I aim to create moments of emotional resonance.

You can find my work on YouTube, Instagram, and here on my website.
