Artist Statement

About this work

Selected for Glitch Goddess, an open call presented by Webbie Social in collaboration with Goddess.

A system built on order, repetition, and predictable output produces something it was never designed to create.

Within streams of falling code, the form of a mare begins to emerge. She is neither fully digital nor fully physical, suspended somewhere between instruction and instinct. The same data meant to define her begins to fracture, dissolve, and become something alive.

In this work, the glitch is not a failure. It is the moment possibility enters the system.

The mare becomes an unexpected form of the goddess: not created through perfection, but through deviation. She exists because something went wrong, and in that error, something wild learned to breathe.
