Faith in Fakes
2022 · CGI still image
Faith in Fakes explores our willingness to believe in artificial images. Drawing on the visual language of resort brochures and holiday advertising, the work constructs an entirely synthetic paradise that feels seductive, familiar, and strangely convincing.
Its immaculate architecture, idealized landscapes, and carefully orchestrated atmosphere promise an experience that exists only as an image. The simulation borrows the visual codes of commercial photography, where reality is continually enhanced, perfected, and repackaged as something desirable.
As simulated environments become increasingly convincing, Faith in Fakes questions how artificial representations shape our expectations of the real, and why an image of paradise can become as desirable as the experience itself.
