“Dreams in Distortion” is a 70cm x 100cm surreal portrait that captures the tension of migration and overload. A figure with braided hair dissolves into digital fragments, their body split between echoes of home: huts, family silhouettes, and the neon chaos of a modern city. Warm earth tones collide with glitch-like circuitry and jagged light, embodying the strain of balancing pressures across worlds. Tradition and modernity blur into distortion, where resilience emerges from fracture.
Here, glitch is not an accident but a rhythm. The repeated distortions of the portrait reveal the limits of both personal and systemic structures, where migration pressures and sensory overload expose the body’s fragility and resilience. What appears unstable begins to form its own rhythm; what seems incomplete defines its own structure.
