doubled series
Printseries of twenty-nine
Displayed in Philadelphia, 2017
Inspiration & Concept: This series focuses on the sense of individualized dualism. The process forces two separate visual narratives to exist as one. This creates an image where two sources are merged, and in direct conversation with each other. The work explores the tension, friction, and unexpected beauty composed through coexistence.
Process & Technique: The creation of each piece begins by digitally stitching two images with their data and RGB color channels reading from both sources. The resulting interpretation between the two sets of data creates a unique layered visual. This intentional splicing process transforms the original photos into a single, complex image where both sources are simultaneously present and abstracted.
Message & Meaning: merged narratives, conflicting experiences, composition of reality, fragmented synthesis

Printseries of twenty-nine
Displayed in Philadelphia, 2017
Inspiration & Concept: This series is a collaboration between the power of timeless literature, and the fragility of digital memory. Inspiration was taken from works of writings and translate its content into a new medium. By simplifying an image's coding to the limits of a story's words, the work reveals visual and structural patterns that exist within written language. The project is a retelling of literature excerpts as a piece of abstract art.
Process & Technique: The raw texts from a selection of classic books are used as the source code for an image file. This direct conversion transforms the narrative into a chaotic visual landscape. The finished abstract images are then saved onto colored floppy disks finalizing the process. The use of an obsolete storage medium adds a layer of physical and temporal weight, an object as both a modern art piece and a relic of a disparaged era.
Message & Meaning: preservation of literature, allegory and interpretation, outdated media
