We inhabit two worlds: the slow, messy reality of the body and the instant, curated perfection of the screen. "Digital Dysphoria" explores the exhaustion of living between them, arguing that our desire to merge with the machine is not an evolution, but a trap—and that our discomfort is the only thing proving we are still alive.

I've been listening to the new album from Sleep Token on repeat.

Behind the masks and the grand mythology, I found a single, devastatingly honest confession. This is my personal interpretation of the album, focusing on the human pain beneath the persona.

Digital art is often treated as 'less than'—too cold, too technical, or lacking a human hand. This post is an exploration of that resistance, an argument for the 'aura' of a digital file, and a look at why this medium is a liberation, not a replacement.

Beyond the code and computation, AI is becoming something far more intimate: a lens to examine what it means to be human. It has absorbed our contradictions and our histories, and now it speaks to us in our own voice. In this strange dialogue, we confront our own logic, our hidden assumptions, and the very nature of what we thought made us unique.

Why do we make art? After burning out on the sterile, hypothetical world of AI, I found my answer in the dark, melancholy paintings of Zdzisław Beksiński. A report on his art, his craft, and the powerful lesson that art isn't meant to be explained—it's meant to be felt.

A post-trip reflection on the framework put to the test. This post documents the week in Berlin, confirming the initial hypothesis while uncovering deeper reasons for the disconnect—including the gallery environment itself—and finding connection not in observation, but at the crossroads of a shared idea.

A pre-trip self-analysis exploring a paradox: what does it mean to be an art student who loves to create art, but feels a profound disconnect when looking at it? This is an attempt to build a framework for that experience before testing it in the galleries of Berlin.

How can a visual artist create without a mind's eye? This post is a deep dive into my experience with total aphantasia—the inability to form any mental imagery or other sensory experiences. I explore how this condition shapes an artistic process based not on visualization, but on intuition, discovery, and a constant dialogue with the physical work.

As AI becomes a more common tool, it raises complex questions about artistry, effort, and authorship. This post is a deep dive into my own process of working with AI, from the practical challenges of collaboration to the ethical lines an artist must navigate.

A look at some recurring themes through a different medium. This post shares three poems I've made that, despite being created at different times, all seem to grapple with the same idea: the nature of consciousness, from the self in isolation to our place in the universe.

A look into my sculpture, "Spectre in the Machine." This post explores the process of using an AI-generated model and specific 3D printing materials to investigate the relationship between a digital "spectre" and the physical "machine" required to give it form.

A look into my project, 'Digital Entropy'—an experiment in visualizing the loss of information from a digital idea to a physical object. It started with a single AI-generated figure that I 3D printed four times, allowing each attempt to fail in its own way. This is the story of those four broken pieces and what they reveal about the honesty of physical imperfection.
