Refractions #549

Each Refractions token is composed as a high-end still-life photograph: a controlled studio setup where light passes through a chosen material — a glass, a prism, a lens, a crystal, a shallow pool, a film — and paints complex refraction and caustic patterns onto the scene.

Materials range from clear glassware and optical blocks to cut crystal, gemstones, soap bubbles, droplets on glass and thin films. Light might be a single tight beam, a soft diffuse panel, coloured LEDs or direct sunlight.

The results include warped backgrounds, spectral rainbows, sharp caustic streaks, overlapping refraction fields and micro-details that reward close viewing. Everything remains physically plausible; nothing is surreal or cartoonish.

Glitch

Glitch #88
Glitch #85
Glitch #96
Glitch #98

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.

Trace

Trace #86
Trace #38
Trace #54
Trace #72

Trace is a study of perception — a hybrid visual language where photographic fragments become architectural diagrams, and linework reveals the hidden structure inside the world.

Each artwork begins with real photographs: textures, objects, architectural details, or natural fragments. These images are arranged as intentional collages — quiet, asymmetric, evocative. Over them, precise linework unfolds: topographic contours, orthographic projections, and geometric extrapolations that reinterpret the photograph’s form.

Trace sits between blueprint and sketchbook, between fine-art print and architectural analysis. It is a dialogue between what is seen and what is understood.
