Artist Statement

I work with systems I can’t fully control, AI models, audio waveforms, generative algorithms, and shape them into something that feels alive. That tension between automation and authorship is central to my practice. I’m not interested in making machines look human, I’m more interested in what happens when the boundary between intention and emergence starts to blur. Most of my work begins with sound. A pulse, a texture, a frequency that slips under language. From there, visuals unfold: flowing, fractal, dissolving. I use tools like AnimateDiff, waveform visualizers, and custom 3D environments to explore the space where perception becomes pattern. What emerges often feels both ancient and digital, abstract and intimate, like a memory you can’t quite place. I’m drawn to ideas of presence, impermanence, and the way technology mirrors the structures of thought itself. Working with AI isn’t about surrendering authorship, it’s about collaborating with a system of possibility, guiding it, filtering it, disrupting it when needed. The work becomes a trace of that interaction: part code, part instinct, part listening. Ultimately, I want the work to hold space for reflection, for curiosity, for a kind of quiet awareness. In a time defined by noise and automation, that feels like its own kind of resistance.

Description

“Blush” is a visual expression of an unseen frequency, a portrait shaped by sound, suggestion, and systems just beyond control. Emerging from the waveform of an original audio composition, the piece captures a moment where emotion becomes form, and abstraction brushes up against figuration. There’s a sense of something intimate but ungraspable, like memory surfacing in a dream.

Process

This piece developed in parallel with my project Transmissions, which explores translating sound into image through real-time processes. I had recently begun pushing toward a more painterly approach in my video work, and became curious what would happen if I froze that process, isolating a single frame mid-animation. I wanted to see if that suspended moment could hold the same emotions as the moving image.

Tools

The image began as a screen recording of a digital oscilloscope reacting to my audio. That footage was used as input for an AnimateDiff pipeline, which interprets motion and texture through a form of AI-driven style transfer. The process blends visual suggestion with generative abstraction, shaping the piece frame by frame. The final still was selected from the animation and finished in Photoshop for color balance and subtle touch-up.
