Mythologies

A synthetic photographic investigation of youth culture, fantasy, and self-invention, using AI to reconstruct the visual language of desire and identity.

Mythologies explores how images form the narratives we use to understand ourselves—especially within youth culture, where myth-making is constant, improvisational, and collective. Drawing from fashion photography, street culture, advertising tropes, and the dream logic of online aesthetics, the work merges photography with AI processes to create images that feel both archival and newly invented.

The series operates like a cultural memory machine: synthesizing gestures, poses, glances, and archetypes into scenes that suggest a lived world without ever fully belonging to one. The images unfold between fiction and documentation, asking how beauty, aspiration, and identity are performed and circulated.

These constructed portraits become contemporary myths—not because they depict heroes, but because they reveal how ordinary lives get shaped by the stories we inherit and the ones we create.

Mythologies was exhibited in a solo show at the NFT Factory, Paris in December, 2023. Prints of this work represented by Fahey/Klein Gallery in Los Angeles.
