About the complete work :
A mixture of traditional painting and digital techniques, culminating in a video depicting the artist’s doppelganger. The desire to detach from oneself and obtain an objective view through the experience of first impressions has resulted in the impulsive creation of a digital clone. Created from a vain obsession, It’s destiny is to be seen, known and left to exist eternally in the digital cloud. Although the clone is not sentient, there is a certain melancholy that manifests in the knowledge of one’s doppelganger existing in an endless digital void. A question therefore is raised ”Is it necessary to go these lengths, just because it is possible?”.
