Description

The solid boundaries that once separated us have now begun to melt and shift like liquid. This series, “Wall is Liquid,” is an attempt to explore the ambiguity of the boundaries we take for granted—between reality and fiction, and between the visible and the invisible. I am working to visualize the cognitive dissonance that occurs the moment the brain judges something as “non-existent,” even though it is visually complete. When a wall that should be solid manifests as liquid, the retina attempts to capture it as a record of reality, while the brain strives to process it as fiction—an output of computation. It becomes stuck in the gap between these two. This series is a “perceptual verification device” designed to intentionally induce this state of “Cognitive Glitch” and activate new perception. “Wall is Liquid” is not an expression of emotional reality. It is the crash mark of “cognitive friction” arising at the interface where the “black box” of AI collides with the human “cognitive system.” The work does not fix meaning; it functions as a “catalyst” to be supplemented within the viewer's mind. Faced with fluid boundaries, recognition falters and freezes in that void. It is within this noise that the “algorithm of vision” through which we perceive the world is exposed, revealing the depths of vision I wish to present.
