Sleeper Cell

Collectible

2/28/25

With Sleeper Cell, I wanted to create a sense of mystery, secrecy, and psychological tension. The image has a grainy, almost surveillance-like texture, reinforcing the feeling of being watched or monitored. The two figures stand in an industrial, sterile environment, but their faces are obscured by chaotic white scribbles—representing lost identity, erased memories, or controlled consciousness.

The typography is bold and cinematic, but slightly distorted, as if it's glitching or fading, enhancing the eerie atmosphere. I incorporated rough, hand-drawn elements around the frame to make it feel raw, almost like a corrupted memory. The greenish tint ties into the themes of digital interference, underground networks, or even night vision surveillance.

Overall, this piece plays with themes of anonymity, control, and the unseen forces that manipulate individuals in a hidden system emphasized by the two characters being named Jane and John Doe. It’s meant to feel unsettling, like a glimpse into something you weren’t supposed to see.
