About the artwork
This AI assisted video collection explores the collision of varied elements through reordering pixels, transforming unrelated subjects that hold similar characteristics in form or color to achieve the desired output. Through reiteration of blending, these individually generated images are then strung together in a variable sequence, leaving loose clarity that shape-shifts between frames. The themes explored within this collection highlight discomfort, euphoria, transformation, beauty and self image - all of which concocted with a drive of curiosity for what can visually occur through alteration of form, offering abstracted suggestions across the digital stop-motion style canvas.

Her creative journey begins with generating text-prompted images rooted in an initial idea and evolves through iterative processes, where numerous versions are meticulously crafted until a compelling vision materializes, translating into a video.
Additionally, Belowsubconscious thoughtfully selects a soundscape that harmonizes with the animation, considering the emotions evoked by the visuals and choosing sounds that complement them. Between visual and auditory elements, Belowsubconscious navigates the synthesis of surrealism, AI-driven exploration, and meticulous craftsmanship. This approach unveils a world where the illogical finds its own poetic logic.
