SDB Gallery

Overview

‍

Role: Founder & Creative Director

‍

Period: 2023-2024

‍

Company: SDB Gallery — A mixed-media art project exploring the edges of AI visuals and imagination.

‍

SDB Gallery was born during the peak of AI-generated visual tools like Photoshop AI and Suno. I used it as a playground to remix reality — blending everyday footage of myself and friends with AI-enhanced environments, music, and absurd scenarios. From convenience stores turned neon nightscapes to floating rooftop scenes under the stars, each piece is a short-form visual trip. I produced every element solo — from scripting and shooting to visual editing, audio mixing, and post effects.

"This project reminded me that art doesn’t need permission — just play. SDB Gallery is where I test ideas, bend visuals, and laugh at the results."
