Before the signal, before the noise, there is the origin.

In this work, the human body is presented as the starting point of all experience, identity, and communication. The figure emerges stripped of context and individuality, reduced to its essential form, while pixelated areas hide and simultaneously reveal what society chooses to censor, protect, or transform into information.

The coexistence between the realism of anatomy and the digital visual language creates a reflection on how the body is perceived in the contemporary era: a space where the physical and the virtual constantly cross. What was once mere presence becomes data, image, content, and representation.

“Source” questions the relationship between human nature and the systems that interpret it. In a world increasingly mediated by screens, algorithms, and codes, the work reminds us that all information has a physical and emotional origin. Before the processed image, before digital identity, there exists the body — vulnerable, authentic, and inevitably human.
