WATCHING MY MOVES is a corpus of assemblage portraits reverse-engineered from REM-state visions and meticulously constructed using LEGO-based instruction schematics, colour-matched modular tiles, and epoxy-sealed mounting techniques to transpose pixelated media memory into devotional permanence. Emerging from a process that bypasses volitional authorship in favour of unconscious transcription, the series operates as a mnemonic constellation that reframes nostalgic imagery as metaphysical artifact. Rather than celebrate video game iconography as kitsch or critique it as commercial debris, the work enacts a rigorous recoding: upward stacking becomes symbolic ascension through archetype, and each composition is calibrated with chromatic precision to replicate the aura of its dream-state apparition. This iterative methodology transforms the logic of construction into a metaphysical schema, where modularity is no longer functional but initiatory, and where replication becomes an esoteric exercise in resurrection. The portraits do not depict individuals; they externalize inward avatars, indexing the psychic residue of spiritual searching, digital saturation, and the slow, silent alchemy of memory. In its entirety, WATCHING MY MOVES initiates a recursive diagram of cultural recall, wherein pixel, ritual, and selfhood converge to articulate an alternative visual grammar—one that situates the unconscious not as subject but as engine, and the dream not as inspiration but as blueprint.
