A generative digital landscape where water reshapes the planet and clouds form haunting faces — a poetic warning on our times , inspired by Munch and Leonardo’s visions of pareidolia.
Pareidolia Landscape
Digital pareidolia becomes terrain: distorted natural scenes reimagined as three-dimensional landscapes, printed and cast in jesmonite.
This sculptural work begins with coded digital images—distorted fragments of natural scenery that are algorithmically deformed into unfamiliar terrains. The result is a three-dimensional printed surface, later cast in jesmonite, that transforms ephemeral digital visions into tactile form.
The rippling green textures evoke a landscape both artificial and organic—at once painting, relief, and architectural fragment. By materialising a digital illusion into a collectible object, the work questions how technology reshapes our perception of nature and how images can become landscapes in their own right.
Leonardo da Vinci once described the power of pareidolia, where one might see “landscapes adorned with mountains, rivers, rocks… strange expressions of faces” within mere stains on walls. Liquid Landscapes extends this timeless insight, reimagining natural scenery as abstracted reflections of the human psyche. Like Da Vinci’s visionary scenes, these liquid visions invite viewers to find their own meanings within the forms, asking them to confront, question, and ultimately empathize with a world in flux.
Liquid Paraedolia Landscapes are a series of generative digital artwork that simulates a planet reshaped by the relentless movement of water—an imagined yet urgent vision rooted in the realities of global warming and its catastrophic effects. Drawing from Edvard Munch’s iconic The Scream and his reflection on “an infinite scream passing through nature,” the work renders clouds and currents that morph into distorted, anguished faces. These fleeting forms become digital pareidolia—illusions hidden within abstraction.
This large-scale projection work stages a visceral dialogue between water and fire: opposing forces in perpetual transformation. Waves appear to ignite, flames dissolve into liquid, creating a shifting landscape where destruction and renewal coexist. The result is a poignant metaphor for the urgency of climate action, compelling viewers to confront environmental crisis not as a distant concept, but as an immediate, sensory reality.
