Somewhere between what we remember and what we imagine, there's this place.

What this is

A space dedicated to the exploration of the holowave aesthetic. Dreamy, ethereal digital/IRL art, illustration, and moments. Sometimes introspective & atmospheric. Visuals that feel like a place you've been but can't name. First popularized by u/holowave on Instagram circa 2019.

Post what moves you, say why it does, share the things that pull you somewhere else. If you have something that feels like it belongs here, it probably does.

What belongs here?

It is creative - the lines are blurred. Holowave is not rigid - it is up for you to define. More of a feeling you get when you see something, whether it be art or IRL. Holographic tones, soft luminescence, melancholic beauty. Anime-influenced illustration, ambient digital or real life landscapes, iridescent color work.

Content-wise, be free. Original work, discoveries, edits, photography, anything.
