s1n3
In early 2021, after a year of producing educational content on my YouTube channel, I reached a pivotal moment where I chose to halt everything and devote myself entirely to creating art. Feeling a stark dissonance between my persona as an educator and my aspirations as an artist, I decided to take a bold step. Without any forewarning to my followers, I orchestrated a narrative where my channel and social media appeared to be overtaken by S1N3—an automated artist entity (S1N3 as a play on the mathematical functions sine and cosine).
This shift to anonymity allowed me the freedom to reshape my public profile and re-introduce myself to my community in a new light. S1N3 was not just a pseudonym; it was a conceptual veil that provided the necessary detachment from my previous identity, enabling me to explore and present art projects that diverged from my established path.
Under the guise of S1N3, I was able to liberate my artistic expression from the expectations tied to my educational persona. This transition marked a renaissance in my creative journey, opening up avenues to share a different side of my creativity—one that might have remained unseen had I continued under my original identity. The anonymity afforded by S1N3 became a canvas for innovation, where I could freely experiment and communicate my art without the constraints of my past.
