Elastic Myths
Short Description
Elastic Myths explores identity as something stretchable—an emotional material that bends, dissolves, reforms and refuses to stay still. These portraits exist in a state of transformation, merging human anatomy with fluid, glass-like distortions that feel both organic and otherworldly.
The series reflects on how our faces – our most recognisable signatures – become elastic myths of themselves when pushed through memory, emotion and digital interpretation. Each figure appears mid-metamorphosis, suspended between softness and rupture, between creature and glow, between what we recognise and what we almost fear.
Process
Created using Midjourney and Veo 3, the work is shaped through iterative prompting and cinematic refinement, treating AI not as a tool but as a collaborator in sculpting liquid identity. The result is a quiet mythology built from colour, texture and tension—where bodies stretch beyond realism and become stories of their own making.
