In an age where reality is slipping behind screens, "The Void" invites visitors into a world suspended between the physical and the digital. It is a simulation, a spectacle where natural beauty is no longer experienced first hand but endlessly reconstructed by digital forces, and consumed by eyes that can no longer tell the difference. This artwork dramatizes the irony of our time: as we drift further from the physical world, we obsessively reconstruct it, behind glass, behind code, behind illusion.
The Void is a sprawling landscape of curved, pixelated ground where digital windmills, transformed into cyan, magenta, and yellow engines, emit streams of coloured pixels. These pixels are the foundation of the illusions we see on screens, digitized fragments reconstructing the natural world.
Multiple versions of my character drift within this space, awestruck by artificial wonders. Butterflies flutter by, but they are no longer alive only file forms, part of the endless loop of simulated beauty.
This is the engine space of the digital mirage, the unseen mechanism behind everything we mistake for reality.
Part of The Digital Mirage, an immersive art experience exhibited with espace gallery at Art Dubai 2025, where the digital and physical clash, as we ponder on what reality can mean in a world with an infinite number of digital reconstructions of it.
