Sap Skin
Collaboration with Jenni Pasanen
Hybrid image-making work, 2025
Sap Skin explores the relationship between organic surfaces and digital imagery through a skin-like sculptural interface. Projected flowing “sap” lines move across handmade translucent silicone, creating a visual dialogue between biological movement and digital energy.
The work combines physical material, projection, photography, and digital manipulation. Silicone surfaces are handcrafted to resemble living skin, while GAN-generated textures and digital patterns are projected onto the body-like forms. The resulting images are then reworked digitally, blending light, texture, and distortion into a single hybrid surface.
Through this layered process, Sap Skin reflects on the growing overlap between the body and technology, exploring how digital signals, memory and organic matter increasingly shape one another.
