It was almost night by the beach

 

It Was Almost Night by the Beach is a series developed entirely through 3D and AI-generated imagery. Drawing on photographic conventions long associated with reality and affect, it returns to the codes through which intimacy has been staged and made visible.

Dusk occupies a singular place in photography: a time when light reveals certain details while leaving others only faintly suggested. The work inhabits that threshold. Here, a slight shift in appearance alters the naturalness of gestures, the density of the environment, and the way bodies occupy the scene.

Discussions around technological developments often focus on their impact on health, work, or education. This work asks how those transformations also affect intimacy: how we perceive ourselves, relate to others, and inhabit our surroundings.

Rather than asking where the line between the real and the artificial lies, the project examines how that distinction is produced and naturalised. It constructs an environment in which familiar ways of seeing begin to feel strange.
