Fade into Night is a striking series of black and white acrylic, mixed-media collage paintings that bridge the past and present, nostalgia and innovation. Using authentic black-and-white photographs from the 1940s and 1950s, this collection captures the elegance and grit of vintage nightlife, bustling diners, intimate bars, and vibrant dance halls, infused with the digital imprint of the modern world.
Layered within these evocative scenes are fragments of technology: letters, numbers, and binary code subtly woven into each composition, symbolizing the ever-evolving intersection of human connection and digital transformation.
