“I shut my eyes in order to see.” - Paul Gauguin
"Thinking that we are somehow apart from nature in any way is our greatest arrogance."

    This project is a performance that accumulates and archives experiences to generate a collection. I have explored and visualized the world we see with our eyes shut through digital paintings that are manipulated by photographs of repetitive natural phenomena, such as sunsets and waves. The project aims to tap into the endless possibilities of the new world that forms when we close our eyes by introducing the concept of a continuous flip. This means that there are no book covers or page numbers to constrain or limit the experience. It’s a book that loops.
    The visuals of abstract closed-eye hallucination are manipulated from landscape photography that shows how art forms in nature and uncertainty of voices heard in dreams are evoked by flowing texts.
