    Final Fantasy
    Ficarra, Travis John ( 2021)
    The central research focus of Final Fantasy is on the liminal realm of the digital image. This is examined through the lens of the virtual and encompasses the perspectival and visual metaphor of the window and frame. Exploring the space of the digital image through the medium of painting, Final Fantasy conceptualizes a glass-like transparent veil as parergonal surface, a site of tension between the inside and the outside. A threshold as both boundary and bridge. Oscillations between painting and the screen, transferral between virtual space and flatness, and their relationship to view and perspective are central elements of the research project; to examine the digital image within/against the idiom of painting, to tug at the veil between a flat plane and a virtual space is at the core of Final Fantasy.
