Remanence is a generative art collection exploring the human face as a record of time rather than likeness. Each work presents a recognisably human facial form rendered as sparse points of light and recorded through long‑exposure spectral photography.

Motion across the exposure produces visible red‑shift and blue‑shift echoes, revealing the face at multiple moments simultaneously. The images operate as residual impressions rather than portraits.



Each work in Remanence depicts a human face rendered as a spatial point cloud and recorded over time. Sparse point density preserves recognisable facial structure while preventing photographic resolution.

As the face moves through the exposure, wavelength separation produces temporal echoes in red and blue. These echoes act as visual records of duration, destabilising identity while preserving form.



# Faces as signal

Remanence treats the human face as a spatial signal rather than a subject. Facial form exists as geometry, carried by points of light rather than surfaces or texture.

By refusing photographic density, the work prevents identity from stabilising. The face remains legible, but never fully present.

# Recording, not rendering

Each image is constructed as a record of exposure rather than a rendered illustration. Motion across time is allowed to accumulate, producing visible red‑shift and blue‑shift echoes.

These spectral afterimages are not effects applied to an image, but consequences of duration acting on form.

# Residual impressions

Remanence presents what remains after time interferes with representation. Identity dissolves, but structure persists.

The work stands as evidence — not of a person, but of form enduring across time.



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.
