After initially testing some AI tools, I quickly realized that the creative process was very similar to my previous experiences with traditional media. I found that the self-discovery process occurred similarly, but faster, more intriguing, and deeper. At the same time, it became broader, offering variations in aesthetics and formats, allowing me to access new creative areas. This discovery convinced me that true artistic expression through AI was not only possible but also fascinating. I perceive the investigation of human failure, the persistent inability to fully communicate, adapt, and sustain connections, both socially and existentially, as central to my work. I explore the body and language as inherently flawed tools for connection, constantly disrupted by noise, projections, and emotional overflow. There is always the desire to communicate and inevitably a misunderstanding. I embrace this failure as a source of poetic possibilities. Working with AI has become a subjective dialogue, a collaborative exchange between human and machine. This interaction multiplies possibilities, compelling me to continuously refine my choices and clarify the essential elements of my art. It prompts me to reflect deeply on recurring themes and symbols within my practice. It helps me deepen my poetic approaches, examining and re-examining them from multiple angles, with each moment making them clearer and more complete. Ultimately, I seek for my art to evoke reflection, estrangement, and simultaneously identification. Art captures and encapsulates a moment in time that transcends the personal and becomes collective, a present moment accessible again at any time. It communicates without the need for words, evoking sensations and thoughts freely and uniquely within each viewer. It's akin to experiencing oneself inside another "self," activated by memories of a perfume, a tattoo, or an old love. It's about feeling who we once were and eventually who we are, dissolving and reshaping our perception of time itself.
