The first channel in the CMYK spectrum, a fragment of an image still forming. The scene is quiet, calculated: digital windmill engines spin over pixel pools, files drift all around, and the world hums in cyan code. But the figure sees more. Reclined and entranced, they gaze beyond our spectrum, lulled by something we cannot see yet. What illusion holds their attention? What image are we missing? “C” is not the full picture but merely a part of a system that, once complete, burns into something whole. Until then, we’re left with only a sliver of the mirage. Part of The Digital Mirage, an immersive art experience displayed at Art Dubai 2025, where the digital and physical clash, as we ponder on what reality can mean in a world with an infinite number of digital reconstructions of it.
