ABOUT THE EXHIBITED OBJECTS
Deamy Portraits (2024)
“Dreamy Portraits” is a series of enigmatic faces suspended between reality and reverie. Each image emerges from the fusion of AI, photography, and digital manipulation, dissolving the boundaries between the tangible and the imagined. The soft grain, spectral duplications, and elusive light evoke a dreamlike state—where memory, vision, and illusion coexist. These portraits are not simply depictions of beauty, but meditations on fragility, duality, and the shifting nature of identity. They invite the viewer into an otherworldly silence, where the familiar becomes uncanny and the ephemeral is given form.
