<p>By merging contemporary aesthetic codes with those of earlier periods, Justine van den Driessche investigates how images contribute to the construction of collective narratives and cultural memory. Fictional landscapes, hybrid temporalities and the fluidity of gender identities emerge through disenchanted figures, visual fictions haunted by the logic of obsolescence, whether technological, aesthetic, or environmental. Her work has been featured in several artistic events across Europe, most recently at Le Hangar in Brussels as part of the AImagine &ndash; Photography and Generative Images exhibition in 2025. She holds a Master&rsquo;s degree in Visual and Spatial Arts from Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Brussels and a Bachelor in Fine Arts from Universit&eacute; Paris 8. In 2024, she was selected as a laureate by Le Hangar for the Prompt &ndash; Photography and Generative Image project, chaired by art historian Michel Poivert.</p>

<p>Chim&eacute;rium explores the tension between nature and fabrication through generative objects at the crossroads of sculpture and design. These forms oscillate between organic growth and industrial artifact&mdash;wax, fabric, coral, metal&mdash;blending botanical echoes with artificial aesthetics.&nbsp;Reminiscent of still lifes and cabinets of curiosities, each image stages a fragile hybridity: textures evoke both craft and mutation, while the compositions suggest evolution more than construction. The result is a digital chimera&mdash;half-grown, half-made&mdash;questioning the very nature of objecthood.&nbsp;By merging natural patterns with synthetic logic, Chim&eacute;rium invites us to rethink how forms emerge, evolve, and hybridize in an age of generative design. Where does material end and imagination begin ?</p>
