Dreaming Beauties / Nature Morte
Relics of an Algorithmic Age
Dreaming Beauties / Nature Morte explores the transformation of portraiture in the age of artificial intelligence.
Dreaming Beauties / Nature Morte explores the transformation of portraiture in the age of artificial intelligence.
Using AI-generated imagery, translucent organza, and acrylic structures, the project investigates how contemporary technologies reshape concepts of beauty, memory, and identity. The faces depicted in the series appear familiar yet belong to no one. Generated from collective visual data rather than lived experience, they exist between portrait and simulation. Presented as translucent relic-like objects, the works examine what remains of individuality when beauty becomes infinitely reproducible, and the human face increasingly emerges from algorithmic systems rather than personal memory.
Exhibition Formats

Moving, light-responsive works developed for art fairs and collector presentations..
Acrylic Objects
Canvas prints enclosed in transparent acrylic boxes, transforming the image into a collectible object.
Organza Installations
Translucent organza suspended within acrylic structures, developed for biennial and curatorial contexts.
Installation Statement
Veils of an Algorithmic Age
The portraits of Dreaming Beauties are printed on translucent organza and suspended within transparent acrylic structures.
The faces generated by artificial intelligence possess a paradoxical quality: they appear familiar and recognizable, yet remain fundamentally unattainable. They resemble memories without origins, portraits without biographies, and identities without lived experience. Organza became the natural extension of this condition. The portrait is never fully present. It shifts with light, distance, and movement, appearing and disappearing like a fragile trace.
The acrylic enclosure transforms the image into an artifact. Resembling a display case, reliquary, or archival container, it preserves not the memory of a particular individual but the visual residue of an era increasingly shaped by algorithmic image production. Together, organza and acrylic create a tension between permanence and fragility, presence and absence, portrait and relic.
