Each poster presents a stylized micro-world where diverse characters engage in physical activity: running, stretching, lifting, playing—captured in a soft, sculptural aesthetic. The visual language balances playfulness with intention, emphasizing inclusivity, accessibility, and the joy of movement in public space.

The project was developed using a hybrid generative workflow. Midjourney was used in the early stages to define the visual direction through a moodboard and sref-based style exploration, establishing the tone, forms, and color systems. From there, Weavy.ai became the central tool for production; handling design, layout, typography, final rendering, and style extraction to ensure coherence across all six compositions.

Weavy’s ability to maintain stylistic consistency allowed the series to function as a unified system rather than individual posters. Typography, spatial hierarchy, and composition were refined within this environment, enabling a seamless integration between generative imagery and graphic design structure.

The result is a cohesive campaign that feels both synthetic and human, where crafted digital forms echo real-world movement, and technology becomes a tool for amplifying community presence rather than replacing it.

Journaling is an ongoing personal project where each day becomes a short video diary entry. Instead of traditional writing, the diary takes the form of surreal self-portraits, sculptural busts that resemble fragments of the self. These portraits become the narrator of the day. Each entry begins as a written reflection: a small observation, a memory, a thought about the day. That text becomes the voice of the portrait.

Using generative tools, the process unfolds across several stages:

First, I design the portrait using Midjourney, exploring surreal interpretations of the human head and bust as containers of thought, memory, and mood. The selected portrait is then animated with HeyGen, where the bust recites the diary entry, transforming a static image into a speaking presence. The narration itself is also generated through AI voice synthesis, creating a strange but intimate effect: the portrait becomes both author and narrator of the daily reflection.

Finally, the pieces are assembled in Adobe Premiere, where the visual rhythm, sound, and pacing shape the final diary entry. The result is a hybrid between personal journaling, experimental portraiture, and AI-assisted filmmaking, a daily practice that explores how technology can mediate memory, identity, and storytelling.

Each entry is small. But over time, they accumulate into a living archive of thoughts, images, and days.

LUX is an ongoing generative film cycle inspired by the music, symbolism, and emotional architecture of Rosalía’s album LUX. Created using a hybrid workflow of AI image generation, AI video synthesis, and traditional film editing, each piece explores the tension between the sacred and the synthetic, the corporeal and the algorithmic, devotion and distortion. Rather than illustration or adaptation, LUX functions as a cinematic response, a visual meditation on sound, rhythm, memory, and ritual translated through machine vision.

Conceptual Approach

These films are not narratives in the traditional sense. They operate as visual poems: fragments of gesture, texture, and movement that echo the emotional states of the music. Flamenco, religious iconography, industrial minimalism, and surrealist collage coexist inside environments that feel simultaneously ancient and computational. AI is treated not as a shortcut, but as a performer, a collaborator capable of hallucination, failure, and beauty.

Technical Process

Each film is built using a custom pipeline that blends:

• Weavy.ai for orchestration, sequencing, and managing the generative workflow.

• Midjourney for conceptual imagery and visual world-building.

• Kling for AI-driven motion, transformation, and temporal distortion.

• Adobe Premiere for editorial rhythm, pacing, and final cinematic assembly.

This process allows for precise control over mood and symbolism while preserving the unpredictability that makes generative systems expressive.

Status

LUX is an ongoing series. New films will continue to expand this universe, responding to additional tracks and evolving alongside advances in generative tools.

The images are developed through a hybrid creative process that blends traditional artistic exploration with contemporary generative tools. Each piece begins with loose sketching and photographic studies to establish composition, gesture, and spatial balance. From there, generative AI is used as a visual exploration engine to experiment with unexpected combinations of forms, textures, and patterns. The results are then refined through digital illustration, where color, line, and atmosphere are carefully shaped into the final artwork.

This oscillation between mediums allows intuition and technology to interact throughout the process. Rather than replacing traditional methods, AI becomes one layer within a broader artistic workflow that includes drawing, photography, and digital craft.

The series is produced as premium giclée satin prints (11 × 14 inches) and is currently available at STUFF-RVA and DAGNABIT! shops in Richmond. Each print is part of the Pheromones series and is individually numbered.
