memory . zip ♡ an art exhibition at NAVEL
the signs, the exchanges and the eyes, and the cities
original title: los signos, los intercambios y los ojos, y las ciudades
This was my exhibition at NAVEL in Madrid, presented from May 14 to June 28, 2026.
A love letter to the home I was leaving after five years, and to the people, rituals and tiny gestures that made it ours.
Built from photography, poetry, printed texts and fragmented images, the installation treated the house as more than architecture: the kitchen became a meeting place, the hallways held our exchanges and each bedroom became its own private universe.
I cut, enlarged, blurred and reprinted the images on different materials to recreate the way memory behaves: unstable, marked, fading, repeating and always returning in pieces.
Part farewell, part visual diary, part attempt to touch something just before it disappears ౨ৎ
I love sharing my personal artistic projects alongside my freelance work because I do not see them as separate worlds. They might live in different folders, but they come from the same hard drive ♡
The same curiosity, visual sensitivity and emotional storytelling move through everything I create. Every photograph I make, film I edit, text I write and installation I build shapes the creator I bring to each collaboration.
Photography, writing, image manipulation, creative direction + installation by Mont Carver.

THE ART OF CREATIVITY ✨
Experimenting. Exploring. Not knowing exactly what the outcome will be. PLAYING.
I started with paper: arranging, breaking it apart, and creating compositions. In that imperfect, analog process through randomness, mistakes, and trying again – something emerged.
Something real.
Fragile.
Human.
Once I had a feeling for where the journey was going, I could translate that feeling into words and create images for the book with Envato that carried the same emotion.
I was also able to quickly create mockups that gave me a vision of the final product.
And then I turned it into a small spot for the poetry book: inspired by memories of my grandfather reading poems to us when we were younger, and the emotions those moments created.
A personal idea, brought to life in a short amount of time with the help of the right tools.
That’s what Human by Design means to me: Humans decide what stays, what disappears, and what feels right.
It’s our curiosity.
Our experimentation.
Our need to play. 🤍

Well done
I created "The Last Memory," a cinematic AI-assisted artwork exploring the moment artificial intelligence experiences grief for the first time. I developed the concept, wrote and refined multiple detailed prompts, and iteratively adjusted the composition, lighting, facial expression, storytelling, and emotional elements until the final vision was achieved. Every revision focused on strengthening the narrative through visual symbolism—the child's drawing, teddy bear, fading hologram, and a single tear—to communicate empathy, memory, and loss.
The project was inspired by the theme "Human by Design." Rather than portraying AI as powerful, I wanted to show the moment it discovers compassion and the emotional weight of saying goodbye. The goal was to create a piece that invites viewers to question whether humanity is defined by biology or by the ability to love, remember, and grieve.
