Proof Of Power

Proof of Power is a portrait series that explores the shifting face of influence in the digital age. In a world increasingly shaped by networks, platforms, and code, traditional hierarchies are being replaced—or redefined—by a new architecture of power. This series captures the figures who have come to symbolize this transformation: not just as individuals, but as archetypes of the systems they helped create, disrupt, or weaponize. From anonymous creators to meme-fueled billionaires, from institutional rebels to digital prophets, Proof of Power reflects on how influence is constructed, perceived, and validated in a time when identity itself is fragmented, performative, and algorithmically amplified. Each portrait in the series is abstract and conceptual, resisting traditional representation. Instead, they render the subject through a visual language of distortion, repetition, code fragments, and symbolic layering.
