Return to Earth
Work created in 2026/1/1
This work progressively replaces pixels of a human face captured by webcam with pixels from 20 nature images, ultimately converting them into ambient music. It implements the ancient concept of "returning to earth" as a pixel-level digital process. Through a three-stage transformation—human (face) → nature (image) → music (frequency)—pixels become the common language mediating between human and nature, presenting death as a return to the natural world. A digital artwork as funeral ritual.
