Soul Grinder

A digital collage built from hand-painted paper textures. The result of extensive experimentation, turning organic paper surfaces into cold, metallic textures.

Soul Grinder centers on the process of transforming texture and material identity. The entire composition was created digitally by collaging scanned layers of paper I painted by hand in the studio.

The core challenge and focus of my experimentation was giving the naturally warm, organic paper and paint layers a cold, metallic, and industrial edge. Through extensive digital manipulation and layering, the soft paper surfaces lost their original physical nature, evolving into heavy, metallic-feeling textures.
