| INSOMNIA | this body of work emerges from the liminal space between wakefulness and sleep, capturing the ephemeral visual phenomena that manifest during prolonged sleeplessness. Through computational processes, I translate the hypnagogic imagery experienced in those suspended hours: the spectral reflections, undulating forms, and geometric distortions that appear when eyes hover between closed and open states
Each piece is generated through iterative coding practices that mirror the restless nature of insomnia itself. The work embraces systematic experimentation and controlled accidents, allowing algorithmic "mistakes" to become revelatory moments. This process of digital wandering parallels the mental drift of sleepless nights, where consciousness floats between states and perception becomes fluid.
The resulting images, rendered in stark monochrome, suggest the visual snow and phosphenes that populate the insomniac's darkened field of vision. Concentric forms spiral inward like closing eyes, while layered geometries evoke the architectural shadows cast by ambient light. These are not dreams, but the raw material of pre-dream consciousness: the visual static that accompanies the mind's refusal to surrender to sleep.Working at the intersection of code and phenomenology, this series documents the aesthetic dimension of a neurological condition, transforming personal affliction into shared visual language. The computational medium becomes both tool and metaphor: like the insomniac mind, the code runs in loops, processes endlessly, and finds patterns in apparent randomness
