About the artwork
I had taken a break from generating images and was primarily working within AI video consoles. I returned to generating images with a different perspective and decided to return to generating images made from photographic references, focusing on the transformation of the original image into something entirely different. Returning to the basics with an exploration of form, texture, and movement.
