Cursed, Floored, & Rejected:

A Landscape Experiment

Born from the broken. Reimagined through the machine. Reconstructed by hand. This collection is a photography generative art experiment, built on the bones of failure. 

Each piece begins with my own photographs—landscapes I’ve captured across oceans, deserts, mountains, forests, caves, and snowfields. These images were then passed through a generative adversarial network (GAN)—a type of machine learning model where two neural networks—one that generates data and one that evaluates it—are trained in opposition to produce altered landscapes that blur the line between real and synthetic.

From there, I reworked the outputs in Photoshop—stripping them down to simplified pixels and elemental color.

The final artworks were re-inscribed onto “cursed” ordinals that were floored and rejected—unwanted tokens that were left behind, broken by failed mints, and rejected by a malformed protocol. I’ve taken what the blockchain and holders deemed worthless, and through art, given it new value, new life, and new myth.

This is an experiment in resurrection. A study in how nature, machine, and failure can converge—and become beautiful again.
