Core - Sonic Dissolution

CONVERGENCE

ALL LAYERS COLLAPSE INTO A SINGLE POINT

WHERE PERCEPTION MEETS VOID

WHERE SIGNAL BECOMES SILENCE

[END OF TRANSMISSION]

[SYSTEM RESET REQUIRED]

I work across traditional painting, AI-mediated video, music composition, and critical writing to explore the gap between perception and understanding; how we construct reality from partial information.

The paintings fragment bodies and faces. The videos layer time and space. The music transforms poetry into sound. The writing makes visible the systems beneath the surface.

WAYS OF SEEING

The body fragments. The face multiplies.
Paint makes visible what photographs hide.

Portrait with bold expressionist style and red lips
YOUR MEMORY IS NOT
the map
Abstract expressionist portrait with heavy fragmentation
I INHERIT THE PARADOX
of shame
Colorful double portrait with vibrant palette
CHANGED BY OBSERVATION
altered in interpretation
Winged heart with flame and bird
YOU AND I ARE GIANTS
my friend
Self-portrait with camera and geometric fragments
AS IN A DREAM
I play all the characters
American flag mixed media assemblage
MY MEMORY PAINTS ME
into this scene
Vibrant abstract face with exaggerated features
TILL I BLEED THE WORDS
down on the page
Abstract nude figure in turquoise and pink
THE PATH OUT IS INSIDE
the shadows cast
Urban landscape with romantic elements
LOVE YOURSELF
you will see the light
Dual portrait with contrasting expressions
BEHIND WILL ALWAYS
be there
Portrait with intense wide eyes and dramatic expression
THEY TOO ARE WANDERING
in the night
Abstract expressionist blue figure with vibrant colors and text elements
THE MIND IS A FICKLE
master
Abstract painting with black bird silhouettes over turquoise dripping background
THIS IS NOT AN ENDING
it is the discipline of beginning again

ALL WAYS OF CREATING ARE THE SAME
Every failure is a confession.......

I investigate the space between perception and reality—where systems break down, where meaning fragments, where the signal corrupts.

Systems betray themselves through breakdown. The error state is the honest state—where you finally see how the illusion was built. These moments of failure are moments of truth. They show us the scaffolding beneath our perceptions, the arbitrary nature of our meaning-making systems.

What remains when the illusion of certainty dissolves? What information is new?

What do we do with this information once we have it? Who do we tell? How do we say it?

LET'S CREATE TOGETHER

Interested in collaborations, commissions, or conversations about art, technology, and meaning-making? I'd love to hear from you.
