Inside tells the story of a high-end art thief, Nemo (Dafoe), who becomes trapped in a luxury, high-tech penthouse in New York's Times Square after his heist does not go as planned. While this is a story about escape and survival, the client wanted the art to focus more on the heart of the film which taps into much larger themes of isolation, art vs commerce, and relative worth.

We wanted to capture the tension, isolation and claustrophobia of the film to reflect Nemo's spiral of desperation as he tries to escape from what began as an art lover's heaven, but quickly turns into a living hell. As we follow his trauma, we start to question - is this some sort of forced performance piece? Is he the art? So we wanted the art to also reflect this question living amid the underlying themes of the film.

The art was so well received we ended up finishing six different pieces, three of which have been submitted here. The key art was also well received on our client’s social platforms with long lists of comments praising the art and, for ARSONAL, was our highest liked post on Instagram ever.
