SAFE.PLACE

Processing · 2021

A field of restless particles, and somewhere inside it, a face. The particles drift at random, but where a hidden portrait is bright they gather and glow, until someone surfaces from the noise.

One face holds for a moment, then the field forgets it and remembers another.

Safe Place: a face emerging from the particle field
Safe Place: a face with fallen hair, gathered from particles
Safe Place: a face half lit, half lost in shadow
Safe Place: a face turned upward toward the light
Safe Place: a face in three-quarter view
Safe Place: a face in profile
Safe Place: eyes, close up, condensing from the field
Safe Place: a face surfacing from the noise
