OFF-PLAN — this sketch runs. It differs from the plan the planner wrote for it.

Brief

A vast 3D landscape of suspended cliff faces that form a mountain range of fragmented memories. These geological strata are composed of layered, sepia-toned vintage photographs and delicate, torn paper scraps with highly visible frayed fibers. The massive formations drift slowly through the void, creating a sense of immense, floating geological time.

Artist's statement · laguna-xs-2.1:latest, unedited

This sketch creates an immersive 3D landscape of floating cliff faces composed of vintage photographs that slowly drift through a dark void. Each cliff face is represented as a textured plane with randomized size and orientation, creating a sense of fragmented memories suspended in space. The entire formation rotates slowly, and individual cliffs drift independently, generating an organic, dreamlike motion that conveys the concept of geological time made tangible through digital artifacts.

The executor's own account of what it built, kept verbatim. A claim about the work, not a finding about it.
