An installation that explores the convergence of technology, art, and architecture. Using Neural Radiance Fields (NeRF), the work captures and reinterprets my daily experience inside the architecture studio where I spend long hours, a space in which structure and imagination continuously overlap.
 

The installation begins with the capture of radiance fields through neural networks, a process that, paradoxically, feels close to Impressionist painting. Just as the Impressionists sought to render light and atmosphere rather than the fixed solidity of objects, this project attempts to capture the light that shapes everyday space and transform it into an artistic experience.

The result is not a conventional mesh or a stable geometry, as in the photogrammetric processes I have explored for years, but a cloud of light and color. I then rework this point cloud in 3D, turning the precise digital registration of physical volumes offered by NeRF technology into a dreamlike passage through space.
 

Walls and objects begin to dissolve into an evanescent luminous matter. The work recalls the view from an airplane window crossing the clouds, where physical form gives way to shifts of light and color, emptiness and density. It becomes a suspended world, literally held in the void, where one experiences the strange dual condition of observing, from a protected cocoon, the slow shipwreck of the physical world.
 

This installation is my attempt to push NeRF beyond accurate representation and toward a subjective, poetic, and unstable reimagining of reality. A journey through light, and an invitation to look beyond the surface of things.
