.404 POSTCARDS is a conceptual postcard series that blends the analog charm of travel ephemera with the cold logic of internet infrastructure. Each postcard features a familiar CAPTCHA-style 3x3 image grid overlaid on idyllic tourist imagery—palm trees, mountaintops, city streets. It’s a routine moment of verification, except this time, it's printed, collectible, and permanent.

By mimicking the logic of bot tests, the series questions not just identity, but memory itself. Is this a vacation snapshot or a training dataset? A souvenir or a simulation? 404 Postcards suggests we’re no longer just proving we're human—we're proving we were ever really there. Personal Project in Tokyo, Japan - 2025.
