Generative Portraits + Artwork + Ephemera
NFT offering on OpenSea
A collection of 30 original, custom-made NFTs inspired by the ephemeral nature of physical existence, graffiti, and surface design. Each portrait was generated using BigGAN and StyleGAN technologies, blending elements from personal family photos, random faces, and historical portraits to create unique, expressive images exploring identity, memory, and digital impermanence.
Drawing from over 20 years of collected ephemera and original artwork, I layered select visual elements onto each portrait using a limited color palette. Each piece was altered in one of three styles—full color, black and white, or posterized—and restricted to 1–4 layers of overlaid artwork. Rather than relying on random generation, each composition was carefully and intentionally constructed by hand.
