Between Worlds: An Exploration of Transformation and Connection
Between Worlds is a series that explores the evolving relationship between humanity, nature, and technology. At the center of this journey is the Shaman, a symbolic figure navigating transformation and connection, bridging ancient wisdom with modern innovation.
Each piece begins as a traditional ink drawing, undergoes digital reinterpretation, and will eventually return to a physical form as an oil painting. This cyclical process—physical-to-digital-to-physical—reflects the fluid nature of identity and existence in a hybrid world.
Beyond a finite collection, Between Worlds is designed to grow and evolve, inviting collaboration and continuous reinterpretation. Through layered compositions and recurring symbols, the series offers a lens through which viewers can contemplate transformation and the forces shaping our reality.
The Cycle of Transformation: From Ink to Digital to Oil
Ink Drawing
The ink drawings serve as the foundation for each piece, capturing the raw, organic essence of the series. These hand-drawn works are where the journey begins, embodying nature’s patterns and humanity’s primal connection to the physical world. Each drawing lays the groundwork for the digital transformation that follows, representing the initial step in the process of bridging the physical and digital realms.
Digital Reimaged
The digital reimagining represent the next phase of transformation, where traditional ink drawings are reinterpreted through digital abstraction. This process bridges the organic with the synthetic, creating a hybrid form that reflects the evolving relationship between nature, technology, and identity. Each digital piece offers a new perspective on the original drawing, highlighting the fluid boundary between the physical and digital realms.
Oil Paintings
The oil paintings will mark the final phase of transformation, where digital reimagining return to the physical realm. Through rich textures and vibrant colors, these works will bring the digital abstractions into a tangible form, completing the cycle of physical-to-digital-to-physical. This phase emphasizes the enduring connection between traditional mediums and modern techniques, offering a deeper reflection on the themes of identity, transformation, and the merging of worlds.
Through video and sound enhancements, each digital piece in Between Worlds transforms into a living experience—bridging static imagery with motion, and silence with immersive soundscapes. These dynamic layers invite viewers to engage with the work on multiple sensory levels, reflecting the continuous evolution of identity and reality in a hybrid world.
