Pixel Alchemy | Unveiling the Unseen

This collection is an invitation into a world where pixels stand as the building blocks of an intimate dialogue—an exploration inviting you to witness the delicate interplay between creator and observer. It's a reminder that in this digital symphony of pixels, words, and worlds, every piece carries its own unique resonance, a melody waiting to be heard. As you peer into the pixels, allow yourself to be lost, to find, and to discover the uncharted territories that lie within the realm of these digital sculptures.

Here, I explored pixels, beginning by zooming in as far as I could on Procreate until I was just filling squares of colors. I did this for a good while, not really with rhyme or reason, just creating gradients of colors. At one point I wanted to expand, so I copied and pasted those pixels and put them together in expanding patterns, a pixelated fabric until I had a whole page to work from. I then used the warp tool to fold and bend these pixels, at a certain point words just started flowing to me and I did a free write, stream of consciousness. Untangling all of the thoughts in my mind, as I did I started to find other tools, the liquid tools to distort pixels even further, or I just simply started moving the pencil on the screen until it resembled something, and for others, I layered in AI images inspired by technology and how it can both connect and build us up and guide us towards decay. Layering in these images and finishing with Photobashing techniques.
