ASCEND

Have you ever wondered what a sculpture would feel like if we could co-create its textures, colors, even its underlying philosophy? ASCEND explores how digital identities are constructed, customized, and ritualized in a hyperconnected world. Visitors use a stylized web interface to select features, projecting the result onto a life-sized statue. Inspired by vaporwave aesthetics, the project blends retro-futurism and digital mythology to reflect on self-image, performativity, and the surreal rituals of online identity.
