The work explores the idea and act of computer simulation through the lens of the image-making practice of digital photography. Each grid aims to represent the parameters and complexities that characterize the underlying system of visual information from which the individual images in the grid are created. The systems themselves possess the potential to create a universe of possibilities - expansive realities, of which the images in the grids constitute an infinitesimally minuscule part. The image-making exercise serves to help draw parallels between the photographic processes involved and how computer simulations work. Digital photography in itself is an act of simulation, as it involves recording light information from the physical plane using a sensor, and representing it as a two-dimensional visual that exists purely on a non-physical, digital plane.
