< exonerated >

A portrait caught somewhere between recognition and doubt. Beneath the surface, the original painting remains untouched. Above it, an unstable layer of digital interference continually shifts, fragments and reconstructs the face. Nothing quite stays where it belongs. Embedded within the distortion are sixteen figures drawn from the Innocence Project's findings on wrongful convictions. In its first 375 DNA exonerations, 69% of cases involved eyewitness misidentification. Here, those statistics determine the image itself, allowing the failures of human memory to leave their mark on every pixel. Somewhere in the image, a small light blinks. It offers a way inside. For a few seconds, you become the witness. A face appears. Then five almost identical strangers. Five chances to be certain. Five opportunities to be wrong. By the end, the work has collected evidence of its own. The face was always there. How much of it you actually saw is another question.
