Fractured Reflections (2024) explores the fluid boundaries of identity and perception through a synthesis of sound, waveform analysis, and generative image-making. Inspired by the kinetic language of audio software and geometric abstraction, the work features shifting lines and fragmented forms that reveal and obscure women’s faces. Each face is bisected or layered, evoking the fractured and multifaceted nature of identity in the digital age.
Both the audio and visual elements originate from a live performance using the Native Instruments plugin Skrewell. A screen recording capturing the oscilloscope’s real-time response to the sound is then processed via Animate Diffusion. This technique transforms the raw waveform data into a flowing, abstract composition, resulting in a dynamic form of visual music where every sonic gesture finds its reflection on screen.
