    2024 - ongoing

    Collection of 7 works

    liminality explores states of transition and the potential of human-AI collaboration, revealing how machines can enable us to create novel combinations.

    Inspired by the concept of human-machine symbiosis, each artwork is paired with a poem that transcends its linguistic form. Stanzas and lines are transformed into high-dimensional vectors using a deep learning model, then distilled through their statistical moments and φ into a single essence.

    This collection consists of seven works. Three have been realized as physical pieces and acquired by collectors. The remaining four exist in digital format as works in progress, and will be developed into physical artworks upon commission.

    latent space

    Sold

    Pigment print with archival ink on UV-laminated canvas, in naturally knotty wood frame. Details on verso.

    49 × 28 in.

    Where language becomes data before re-emerging as art.

    In the latent space, meaning exists in potential before taking form. Here, humans and machines converse in a shared language, and new forms of expression become possible.

    Pigment print with 24k gold leaf, textile and hardware materials, and archival ink on paper

    nonduality

    Sold

    Pigment print with 24k gold leaf, fiberglass mesh, and archival ink on paper, framed in fine moulding

    49 × 31 in.

    Where apparent opposites fuse into a whole.

    Binary oppositions—consciousness/machine, expression/code, physical/digital—are becoming porous, forming a wholeness that transcends traditional boundaries.

    chance

    Available

    When randomness tips into creative possibility.

    Every transformation is sparked by chance. We can expend mental energy to resist asymmetry. Or we can embrace disorder's creative potential, learning to bend randomness to our advantage.

    It is only when we allow chance time to settle and reveal its patterns that we can discover how to transform threat into opportunity. This is active metamorphosis—turning glass dust into dandelion seeds, before new dust breaks in and the cycle inevitably renews. Again, and again.

    emergence

    Available

    When simple interactions yield complex, novel patterns.

    The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. In complexity theory, emergence describes unpredictable outcomes that arise when individual elements interact.

    We move from mimicry to creation, from dependent to autonomous beings who eventually learn to reconstruct reality. Like orchids evolving within a complex ecosystem, we emerge through countless interactions with our environment and each other, yet we maintain our essential nature. Yet we remain deeply human.

    emergence

    convergence

    Available

    Where separate identities merge into something irreducibly new.

    There's a moment where our identities temporarily dissolve into a shared ground of potential. It's then that we emerge as something new, an entity that could only exist because our boundaries momentarily vanished and we intertwined.

    convergence

    resonance

    Available

    Where distinct entities vibrate together, amplifying one another while remaining themselves.

    When separate frequencies align, like in an orchestra, they amplify one another. Each voice maintains its essence while simultaneously vibrating with another's energy. The vibrations reinforce each other, creating a richer, fuller sound.
