TASTE(LESS)
AUG 2025 — NOV 2025
A speculative universe built around a single distorted bag, shaped through a strange marriage between human and AI.
The bag becomes both artifact and oracle, anchoring a visual world where beauty slips between the real and the simulated.
What emerges is an uncanny aesthetic language that feels futuristic yet uncomfortably close to the present.
