Humans are wired to find faces, even where none exist. From the curve of a rock to stains on a wall, we instinctively pull eyes, mouths, and presences out of shadows. This ancient reflex, born as a survival mechanism, continues to shape how we perceive the world: we animate the inanimate, we project life into what is uncertain, we build meaning from fragments.

0010’s new series moves through this perceptual landscape, tracing the line between recognition and dissolution. The works unfold along a spectrum: from portraits that seem almost familiar, to compositions where only the faint trace of a gaze remains. Through the precise use of line and shadow, 0010 tests the limits of human perception, inviting us into a space where looking becomes an act of invention.

These images feel like relics, etched with stories and symbols, half-erased by time. They resonate like fragments of a collective memory, simultaneously intimate and distant. Faces don’t simply appear within the works; they are constructed through the viewer’s instincts, archetypes, and projections.

By pushing at the threshold where perception blurs into imagination, 0010 reveals a fragile boundary: between what we see and what we need to see, between memory and invention, between presence and its echo. The series becomes less about representation and more about perception itself, its errors, its poetry, its power.
