Art sims created by Cica Ghost have been a staple of my Second Life ever since I first joined this virtual world. The first one I remember visiting was called “Rust”, and one of these days I will find my early SL photos documenting the experience – I was so impressed both by the possibilities SL provides inworld artists, and more specifically, by Cica’s artistic expression.
Over the years she had many other projects, the latest of which is called “Stars”, still on display at the time of writing. “There’s something fishy about it!” was the first thing I said when I TPed to the sim – not because there was anything suspicious about it, but because of all the sea creatures, as you will see on the images below. The homestead felt like a combination of some of her earlier works – from the rusty / steampunk-y overall look, to the signature Cica buildings… It was new and original – definitely fun to explore, yet also somehow known and familiar.
Due to my viewer settings at the time when I visited and took the snapshots, I didn’t actually see any stars, which kept me wondering why she chose to name this artwork “Stars”. Silly me! Well, here’s a pro tip: make sure your viewer is set to shared environment. And do enable the music stream for the full experience.
You can visit “Stars” by following this SLurl.
