Trace

555 Tokens

Trace is an exploration of interpretation — where drawing becomes a way of thinking.

The World, Re-Drawn

Every photograph captures a moment of reality; every drawing reveals a structure beneath it. Trace brings these two modes together. Real imagery sits beside its own reinterpretation — not as illustration, but as analysis, intuition, and extension.

Collage as Architecture

Fragments of photography become anchors. Around them, lines map contours, extend edges, suggest volumes, and unfold imaginary projections. The image is no longer just seen — it is examined, expanded, and re-understood.

The Quiet Logic of Lines

Architectural drawing is a language of clarity. In Trace, that clarity becomes poetic: blueprint scaffolds meet soft textures, diagrams drift into abstraction, and the page becomes a space where thinking is visible.

Trace transforms observation into structure.

Glitch

Glitch #22
Glitch #81
Glitch #40
Glitch #77

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.

Vestige #3

Vestige is a photographic record of the remains of a civilisation that may never have existed: monumental stone figures whose faces offer no clear distinction between portrait and subject.

Remanence

Remanence #1
Remanence #5
Remanence #10
Remanence #14

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.
