An exploration of identity, memory, and technology.

Created in 2016, Digitization Self began as a personal investigation into what it means to digitize one’s own existence. The project examined the process of creating a digital double, using 3D scanning and modeling technologies to reconstruct the human form as data. At the time, this exploration was both technical and philosophical: could a scan capture more than a likeness? Could it preserve essence, emotion, or presence?

Nearly a decade later, the technology has evolved beyond what was once imaginable. With AI-driven photogrammetry and generative models, a single image can now create an eerily accurate digital version of a person. This acceleration forces us to confront the very questions that Digitization Self first posed:
What does it truly mean to preserve yourself in digital form?
Where does the data end and the self begin?
And can our soul, our consciousness, our imperfections, ever be replicated, or only reflected?

The project continues to serve as a meditation on the intersection of technology, identity, and the human desire for permanence in a digital age.
