Rise of the Soul · Token Detail
Rise of the Soul #509
Rise of the Soul is a visual pilgrimage through Dante’s Divine Comedy, reimagined as a hand‑painted animated world. The collection moves from the depths of Inferno to the cleansing slopes of Purgatorio and the vast luminous harmony of Paradiso. The style is lyrical and cinematic: soft brushstrokes, watercolor textures, floating embers and petals, atmospheric perspective, and a single small pilgrim or group of figures travelling through epic landscapes. Inferno pieces are the rarest — violent crimson caverns, rivers of fire, spirals of stone and storm — while Purgatorio scenes of mist, dawn and climbing stairways are uncommon. Paradiso is the most abundant: wide open heavens, golden clouds, concentric rings of light, and cities that seem to be built from music and air. No graphic horror, only symbolic fire and shadow; no literal theology debates, only the ascent of a soul toward light.

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.
Chairs
Chairs is a study in sculptural absurdity: a museum-grade exploration of chairs that push beyond functional design into expressive, impractical, and architecturally playful form.
Each work is a hyper‑photorealistic portrait of a chair behaving more like a sculpture: a seat that bends too far, loops into itself, contradicts its own engineering, or performs gestures no practical furniture would ever attempt.
The result is a collection where fine‑art photography meets conceptual design, blurring the boundary between object, artwork, and architectural experiment.
Trace
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.
