Data Dust: WE ALL MATTER, WE ARE ALL MATTER

Playing on the fact that the predominant material within the substrate is made up of floppy disks, the piece was aptly titled Data Dust.


A graphic fragmental elements reference the visual language of early digital gaming, particularly Pong, introducing a subtle sense of nostalgia and connecting the work back to the origins of the digital age.


The deep black area creates a sense of dark matter and open space within "the void", allowing fragments of painted “cosmic data dust” to drift through the composition. Across the portrait, abstract geometric forms act as expressions of fragmented motion — suggesting movement, distortion and the breaking apart of information.

A graphic strip along the bottom references the visual language of early digital gaming, particularly Pong, introducing a subtle sense of nostalgia and connecting the work back to the origins of the digital age.


The deep black area creates a sense of dark matter and open space, allowing fragments of painted “cosmic data dust” to drift through the composition. Across the portrait, abstract geometric forms act as expressions of fragmented motion — suggesting movement, distortion and the breaking apart of information.


The result is a collision of portraiture, obsolete technology and digital memory, exploring the idea of data becoming physical, fragmented and ultimately lost to time.


This is a piece I particularly love.
