    Metatypismus

    symbolic language · metaportraits

    Where Typismus labels the visible, Metatypismus gives form to what has no body: a feeling, smell, or concept.

    Emotion Core

    eight basic emotions

    The core of Metatypismus: four forces of chaos and four of harmony, whose mixtures produce the remaining states.

    Whispers

    interactive installation

    A creature lives in an environment of attention: steady focus holds its complexity, while attention falling away leaves visible wounds.

    Human Nature

    digital image series

    Emotion is measured against the human scale: while it is smaller than the body, a person remains human; when it grows larger, they become something else.

    Metaportrait: Self

    3D Gaussian splatting · digital image

    A portrait does not fix a likeness; it shows a route through an inner state, from the emotion at the centre to the one a person is moving toward.

    Attention Demon

    single-channel video

    A mythological world where attention is turned into coal and burned. The demon is not evil, but a force that cannot simply be refused.

    Copies

    video and still · 3D render

    Scanned bodies form a circular array, first harmonic, then broken. Here a failure of symmetry becomes a mark of life.

    Hesitation

    digital image

    The composition first reads as a phallic image, but its labels dissolve it: a person hesitates between Love and Instagram as the priorities of life.

    Body Works

    Microcosm / Bodies

    A field for testing the body, scan, shader, and distortion; the material from which the larger works are assembled.

    Approved

    triptych · 3D render · video

    Approval culture as the engine of digital feudalism: to be visible, we voluntarily apply someone else’s mark to ourselves.

    Nothing / Demon Heart

    digital image and audio

    The same file is read as image and as sound: what the eye sees as damage is meaning to the ear.

    methods raw audio · image data · format conversion

    Dust

    single-channel video

    A beam of light in a dusty room becomes a parable about the noise, feeds, and borrowed meanings we breathe every day.

    methods 3D Gaussian splatting · narration · 50 sec
