Title: a wheel within a wheel

Medium: 3D model and digital painting

Description: This series of works began with a process of experimentation with 3D modelling, while exploring how people interpret otherworldly experience (drawing directly inspiration from Ezekiel’s vision), and how technology is becoming entangled with the mystical. When making this, I was thinking a lot about overlaps between spiritual belief, magical thinking and digital technology, and what happens when visions described in sacred texts are reimagined through contemporary software.

I work across digital media, text, and installation. My practice explores the overlap between belief, uncertainty, and technology, where research and mysticism meets digital process. Language, sound, and image all become ways of collapsing and reconstructing concepts, feelings and beliefs. I like when a work feels unstable, when it questions what we can grasp or interpret. For me, making is less about resolution and more about inhabiting that uncertain space.
