Varitas Lucis is a body of work that explores light, time, energy, and emotion through the evolving language of AI as a medium. I am interested in uncovering the qualities unique to AI tools—their capacity to bend perception, to reveal glitches that are not mechanical but soft, poetic, and human. This has become my signature “soft glitch” aesthetic.

My background in photography, with a BFA from Pratt Institute, deeply informs this practice. Photography taught me to create with light and shadow as expressive forces, and my years as a graphic designer gave me fluency in tools like Photoshop, which remain integral in my process. Together, these experiences shape how I approach AI as both collaborator and medium.

I chase awe in my work—that quiet, expansive moment of wonder, of hope. Each piece is a negotiation between chaos and organization, reality and illusion, darkness and light. I want the energy to be felt, yet to land softly. Even when shadowed, the work ultimately leans toward the positive, reflecting my own human feelings back through the lens of technology.
