The Drawn Series: Beyond the Glass Partition

In 2026, we’re drowning in AI images. I want to make work that makes you stop and breathe for a second.

For a long time, Spina.photos has lived behind glass. My work has existed in the glow of pixels, the flicker of a screen. It was a digital archive—a collection of moments suspended in the ether. Welcome to the new era of Spina.photos. Follow along as I move these from the screen to the wall.

Photography was never meant to be trapped in a device. We have become experts at scrolling past beauty. We consume art at the speed of a thumb-swipe, filtered through a backlit glare that flattens texture and robs light of its depth. This year, I am trying to break that barrier.

The Transition

I am moving from a digital archive to a curated physical vision. I am currently deep in the selection process for the first exhibition cycle of 2026: The Glass Partition.

This is more than just a printing process; it is an interrogation of the work. I am looking at the "Drawn" series and asking: What happens when these lines leave the screen?  There is a specific quality to the light in these digital files—a certain grit in the shadows and a velvet pull in the highlights—that demands to be seen in person. I am curating with a focus on materiality: choosing canvas that feels like skin and inks that hold the light rather than just reflecting it.

I want you to feel the weight of the image. I want you to see the way the ink sits on the fiber, turning a flash of light into a permanent object in the room.

The New Era

The "Drawn" series is finally coming home—out of the device and onto the wall – moving from the ephemeral to the tangible.
