Urban Chrysalises is a series of poetic digital portraits blending urban collage, torn-poster aesthetics, and hyperrealistic female faces. Butterflies, as symbols of metamorphosis, float through these fragmented compositions at the heart of a fractured urban landscape.
These artworks were generated using AI prompts and refined through advanced digital techniques.
The series offers a sensitive reflection on identity, transformation, and the invisible scars left by the contemporary city.

The butterfly motif, central in Urban Chrysalises, resonates with another digital portrait series: Les Belles Plantes. These works also combine female faces, natural elements, and symbolic aesthetics.

In Urban Chrysalises, each poetic digital portrait questions the relationship between surface and depth, between reconstructed appearance and hidden emotion. The digital collage process, approached as a feminist tool of empowerment and expression, deconstructs traditional portrait codes to reveal fragmented identities.Torn layers, visual cracks, and drifting butterflies express the porous boundary between the intimate self and public space, between vulnerability and strength.

Through these poetic digital portraits, I explore the possibility of a lyrical reconstruction of the self within a fractured urban world.
