MATERIAL STUDIES


2025 - 2026
 
I have a long-standing obsession with materials, textures, and making processes. This ongoing series of experiments explores how the visual qualities of physical materials and traditional craft techniques can be reconstructed through digital means.
Through extensive hands-on experimentation, I develop my own methods of recreating tactile qualities—surface irregularities, depth, translucency, grain, wear, and traces of making—within a digital environment.
All experiments are created manually using digital tools, without generative AI.
