to glitch the body into moving structures that beckon, mesmerize, and capture one’s attention ~ body waves ~ is made for gazing, meditation and internal movement towards healing.

Embracing AI as a mystical oracle and the body as an interface, ~ body waves ~ is a self-portraiture initiative that transmits messages through non-verbal expression. As an exploration of digital embodiment, this project transforms a self portrait photograph of a body into diaphanous, ethereal, amorphous creatures, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world of healing and contemplation.

In this work, the body transcends its representational form, becoming a vessel for emotional expression that communicates beyond the boundaries of language. By delving into the intersections of human and machine, ~ body waves ~ opens pathways for dialogue about the evolving nature of self-portraiture, embodiment, and human expression in the digital age.

The origins of the photographs are from the body landscapes series.
