On May 16, 2026, the Antwerp-based showroom and creative production company The Suhb collaborated with the Estonian brand Sorcerer to present TOXIC. Organised during the Antwerp Art Weekend, the performance and fashion show was directed by Greta Hilt and performed by dancers from the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp. As part of my ongoing collaboration with The Suhb, I created a series of images derived from iPhone photographs and videos captured during the performance.
‍
The artwork series was published in the sixth issue of the New York-based Dash Magazine, titled "Cult."
This project grew out of an interest in depth maps and their use in orthodox CGI productions. The work involved experimenting with ways of carrying the CGI pipeline and its image treatment techniques over to still, real-life material. The result is an ongoing search for an emotional, human and haptic visual experience, one that begins with the technical translation of depth map imagery.

This exploration led to the creation of two similar but distinct series of images. One series focuses on grayscale depth map compositions with statue-like, Renaissance-style poses that emphasise the details, shapes, and print patterns of the garments. The other series focuses on the overall haptic feeling and texture of the image, akin to tapestry or etching , showcasing casual, off-center and in-the-moment movements and compositions.
