In virtual space, scale often seduces. But for Faysal Mroueh @wheretherehasbeen , the portal lies in the detail. Twin Salamanders presents five pieces of digital jewellery, earrings, a choker, a collier, and a sci-fi butt plug, arranged as archaeological objects inside a virtual display case. Designed for a speculative RPG-inspired world, these fragments blend medieval gaming tropes with queer ornamentation and mythological inference.
At the center slithers a recurring form: the twin salamanders, drawn from gaming lore and myth, creatures said to be immune to fire, the relics granting the wearer the ability of fire resistance within the game's logic.
These hybrid objects act as relics and mechanics, charm and commentary, evoking both protection and desire. Rather than constructing a vast open world, Mroueh zooms in, inviting us to linger in microcosmic terrain, where identity, power, and digital intimacy are encoded in precise, sensual forms.
Faysal Mroueh is a digital artist based in Amsterdam, working with game engines, experimental world-building, and the affective textures of virtual design.
Faysal Mroueh is part of the group exhibition Doppelgänger @doppelganger.exhibition , curated by Yev Kravt @yevkravt
The full experience can only be encountered inside Virtual Art House (VAH) Extra Live – starting September 1st, 2025.
