365 Pixelation Project
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS FOR 2025
(All artworks will be updated to final state before EOY)
What is retained when something is reduced? What is lost when something is restructured? And how does vision—both literal and conceptual—govern what we choose to see?
The 365 Pixelation Project is a meditation on destruction, reduction, and the redistribution of visual information. Comprised of 365 individual works and a single artist’s proof, the series emerges from a desire to reconcile the unfinished—a method of reappropriating past works in various mediums by fragmenting them into new compositions. This project is as much about loss as it is about creation, exploring how perception shifts when information is altered, removed, or abstracted into a new system of visual logic.
​
The process began with a decisive act: cutting down an extensive archive of incomplete works—primarily collages and abstract paintings—into 5 x 5-inch squares. Each fragment was then scanned and algorithmically reduced to a 3x3 grid of color approximations, distilling the complexity of the original into a nine-pixel representation of its dominant hues. This digital reduction was then realized through Giclée printing, ensuring color fidelity and permanence, before being affixed to the center of the original physical fragment. The result is a perceptual paradox—a secondary 3x3 grid emerging within the original material, disrupting and recontextualizing the composition. By extracting and replacing its central information, the work creates a dialogue between what was and what remains.
​
This process reflects how vision itself functions, how clarity dissolves into abstraction, and how meaning can shift when viewed at different levels of resolution. Information is never truly lost; it is merely transformed. The human eye, like memory, fills in the gaps, reconstructing images from fragments, seeking patterns even in dissolution. This series plays with that very notion—offering both an obliteration of past compositions and a refined, systematic reconstruction.
​
The conceptual framework for this work finds its origins in a formative moment from my youth—standing before Salvador Dalí’s 'Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea', an image that, at a distance, resolves into the spectral visage of Abraham Lincoln. This encounter left an indelible mark, teaching me that perception is elastic, that clarity is a function of distance, and that an image can contain multiple truths depending on how it is engaged. The 365 Pixelation Project echoes this lesson—each work oscillates between detail and macro-structure, between intimate materiality and systematic reduction.
​
Originally conceived in 2007, when the first works were deconstructed and scanned, the series remained dormant—boxed away—until 2025, when the final printing and assembly were completed.
