Cross-digital techniques & variable sizes

2017—2025

E-MUTATIONS is a portrait-based series exploring digital identity, aesthetic transformation, and self-perception across visual media. This series questions the transformation of one's image vis-à-vis others and the outside world. This change is related to the way we perceive our digital identity, modeled by the desire to exceed the limits that traditionally structure our aesthetic judgment. The incessant technological evolution makes it possible today to be diluted in a glance at the real representation of oneself and proposes aesthetic visions and alternative modes of perception, giving free rein to self-expression. Presented through cross-digital techniques and in variable formats, the works oscillate between abstraction and figuration, distortion and revelation. Each portrait becomes a malleable vessel—fragmented yet expressive—where the human form dissolves into layered textures, saturated hues, pixel ruptures, and reconfigured anatomy. The body is no longer a fixed entity, but a site of transition. Faces melt into shadow, backs stretch into silence, and identity slips between synthetic folds. These mutations are not merely aesthetic—they reflect the psychological and emotional shifts that our hyper-mediated environments provoke. E-MUTATIONS invites the viewer to reconsider how we construct, consume, and share ourselves—digitally, socially, and sensorially. It raises questions about authenticity, transformation, and the tension between our inner essence and our virtual presentation. This series is an evolving narrative of visualized metamorphosis, embracing the beautiful instability of who we are, who we become, and how we choose to be seen.
