DID Artist Fotobudz

Welcome to Fotobudz

 I’m Christopher Wheeler, a Southern California fine-art photographer and AI-collaborative music artist. My art lives at the intersection of urban exploration, architecture, and lived trauma, turning silence and fracture into powerful creative expression.


Every image, every song, is part of my ongoing healing journey with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) — a condition born from childhood trauma yet capable of extraordinary creative depth. Through my lens and music, I invite you to witness the beauty within the broken, and the light that still survives in forgotten places.


Fine Art Born from Lived Experience

 In the decaying architecture and abandoned corridors of forgotten cities, I find echoes of human resilience. My photographs of urban decay, derelict buildings, and overlooked architecture become museum-quality giclée prints, crafted for collectors, galleries, and those drawn to truth told through art.



Every frame reflects the tension between ruin and rebirth — where fractured spaces mirror fractured minds.


My music — created through collaboration with AI — transforms my inner dialogue into soundscapes that blend emotion, story, and rhythm. Together, these elements create immersive, multi-sensory exhibitions that merge fine art, narrative, and healing into a unified language of survival.

Healing Through Story & Sound

 

I live with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) — a survival mechanism forged through extreme trauma and often misunderstood by society. My purpose isn’t to educate clinically, but to humanize the experience and dismantle stigma through emotion and storytelling.


Each project — from The Chair Movement to my song series like Not Today and Juxtaposition — is a chapter in that healing process. These works transform pain into purpose, showing that even chaos can be re-imagined as art, and every alter, every fragment, carries its own rhythm of truth.

Forging Rhythm: Ai Collaborated Music

Feel the Beat

Juxtaposition

 An Immersive AI-Collaborated Song by Fotobudz


More than a song — Juxtaposition is a sonic collision between light and shadow, innocence and grief, coherence and chaos. Each rhythm reflects the dialogue between fractured identities, revealing that survival isn’t singular, but a constant conversation between extremes.


Guided by my alters and shaped through AI, this piece transforms dissonance into resilience-driven harmony. It’s an invitation to listen not for disorder, but for proof of survival’s beauty.

Drop Dead Fred

 

“Drop Dead Fred” captures the defiant, unfiltered energy of chaos turned to art. This alter’s voice is loud, humorous, volatile — a manifestation of survival unmasked. Every lyric spits back at stigma; every cadence breaks silence.


With AI as my collaborator, I’ve transformed volatility into rhythm and rage into release. This is not a cry for understanding — it’s a declaration of existence.


If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or fragmented — this is your mirror. Here, every fracture has a voice.

The Chair Movement: Voices in the Void

Commission Fine-Art Prints or Collaboration

 Every empty chair tells a survivor’s story. Through The Chair Movement, I use art to spark empathy, break stigma, and honor those still in silence.
