Remanence

Remanence is a study of the human face recorded as light over time.

Each work depicts a recognisably human facial form rendered as a sparse spatial point cloud and subjected to long‑exposure spectral recording. Motion across the exposure produces temporal echoes — red‑shift and blue‑shift afterimages that reveal the face at different moments in time.

These are not portraits. They are residual impressions: what remains of form once time, movement, and wavelength have been allowed to interfere.

Caustic

Caustic is a study in purity under assault. Minimal geometric forms — circles, squares, bars, planes — placed against soft neutral fields. Perfect shapes eroded by chemical light, corroded edges, pigment burn, structural decay, and caustic dissolution.

Every token is a meditation on tension: order versus breakdown, geometry versus entropy, serenity versus corrosion. A single shape becomes a battlefield for chemical destruction.

Glitch

Glitch is a chronicle of generative destruction — a moment where order dissolves and creation is forced to rewrite itself.
Each image captures the instant a system breaks open, revealing the raw mechanics of collapse: torn planes, corrupted colour,
fractured geometry and unstable architectures dragged through the turbulence of a failing render.

This is not destruction as decay, but destruction as generation: new forms born through rupture, error and computational stress.
Glitch is the story of a machine unmaking itself — and in doing so, discovering unexpected beauty in the wreckage.
