Yes, I am Complex
… and so are you.
When I began this project of The Hush Halo (previously known as Iam Complex), I assumed the visual side would be the easiest for me. I come from that background, and I thought painting and drawing would feel like home. Instead, it has turned out to be the most difficult part.
The background story and the New Realm live so vividly in my head that translating them into images feels like standing before a high threshold. Words seem to come more freely and even sound has found its place, but visualizing this inner landscape has demanded a slower, more uncertain process.
I want to share how each layer of this work is made: poetry, soundscapes, and visual art. Each carries a different weight and shapes the atmosphere in its own way.
IMPORANT! Whenever image in my content is made with AI, it is marked as an AI Generated Illustration.
About Poetry
My poems are the heart of this personal art project. Words carry the narrative and open the door into my imagined dystopian fantasy world. Each text is written to stand alone, yet together they create a shifting and unfolding map of voices and images.
Story is not linear, but more like moments and fragments I have caught and formed to resonate into void.
About Soundscapes
The soundscapes I craft with AI tools, woven into the story to echo the poems and amplify the mood. Since I am not a musician, I use AI to provide an extra brushstroke.
This allows me to expand the work beyond words and images, to build an environment of emotions, to share more deeply what I feel.
The audio is AI-generated, designed as soundscapes rather than music. It is not meant to impress with melody or composition, but to hold space for the poems—to create air, tension, and mood. Think of it as an invisible architecture: sound that lingers around the words, amplifying their silence and presence.
About Visual Art
The visual pieces form the tactile surface of the project. My paintings, drawings and abstractions are not illustrations in the traditional sense, but parallel expressions. Colors, shapes and textures work like echoes to my poems: sometimes clarifying, sometimes contradicting, always adding depth.
Together with the poems and sound, they weave a layered experience that is both seen and felt.
