METAMORPHOSIS
AI Image, 2024
In this series, I imagine a future where environmental changes have significantly altered our world. Drawing inspiration from the presence of microplastics in ecosystems, I explore the idea of nature adapting to these new conditions. Through the lens of artificial intelligence, I envision a world where synthetic materials take on new forms, integrating into natural environments.
A surreal landscape emerges where fish exhibit traits of plastic water bottles, and flowers grow from soil containing microplastics, adorned with remnants of plastic caps and bottle silhouettes. These visual juxtapositions highlight the intricate relationship between human-made materials and natural ecosystems.
ARTIFICIAL
2023, Digital Collage using AI, CGI, and Photography
This series explores the intersection between the artificial and the physical world. I have utilized AI technology to blend my photographs and CGI images into a glitchy, alternate reality where nature and technology melt together as one.
Through the use of AI, I aim to push the boundaries of traditional artistic mediums and explore the infinite possibilities of digital art.
My process involves creating a seamless blend of the natural and the technological, resulting in images that blur the lines between reality and fantasy.
FRAGMENTED
MEMORIES
2024, Scanner Photography, AI for Motion
In this series, I explore the delicate relationship between nature and technology, probing the ways in which these two seemingly disparate elements interact and shape our perception of reality. Through the lens of a fading memory, my work contemplates the haunting beauty of nature as it becomes increasingly distorted by the relentless march of technology.
Using a scanner as my camera, I capture the essence of nature in its most ephemeral state. Flowers, once vibrant symbols of life and vitality, are transformed into spectral apparitions, their colors bleeding and blending in a ghostly dance. Each scan becomes a surreal snapshot of a world caught in the throes of transformation, where glitches and imperfections serve as reminders of the intrusion of technology into the natural realm.
At the heart of my exploration lies a poignant question: will technology serve as a bridge between humanity and nature, fostering harmony and positive transformation, or will it ultimately lead to the erosion of society as we know it? As I navigate this dichotomy, my work becomes a meditation on the uncertain future that lies ahead, where the boundaries between the organic and the synthetic blur, and the very essence of what it means to be human is called into question.

GENERATIVE AI

Inspired by the 1968 New Yorker essay titled “The Daughters of The Moon” by Italo Calvino.
In this series I wanted to create a dystopian future where the world has become so overwhelmed by trash, that it has become a part of the natural landscape. Stores become landfields with shelves lined with both new and discarded products. Leaving no distinction between which items are to be bought and sold and which are to be left behind in garbage fields. Advertisements in this era feature trendy models wearing the latest fashion as the centerpiece amongst the chaos of disposable fast fashion. This series serves to be a critique of the never ending cycle of capitalism in which the only goal is to sell as many products as possible no matter how unnecessary each good may be. No longer keeping items for more than a single use or repurposing, is this the future we are headed to?
