Liquid filter

Liquid Filter began with a question: what makes creative work feel human in a world increasingly shaped by AI instagram filters and digital perfection? Using my camera as a research tool, I explored this question through an analogue process involving water, glass and light. The materials form a physical filter between the camera and the subject, transforming the portrait through movement, reflection and distortion. While the setup is carefully constructed, the final image cannot be completely controlled or reproduced. Through this tension between intention and chance, Liquid Filter explores imperfection as a creative quality and the unexpected moments that emerge when the artist allows the process to take over.
