Encounter 012

Encounters is an ongoing series of AI-generated video works built around singular, self-contained moments. Each piece presents a complete encounter: a scene that feels immediate and grounded, yet carries a subtle instability that never fully resolves. There is no narrative progression, no clear before or after. The work exists entirely within the pressure of the moment itself. The process begins by setting conditions rather than outcomes. From within that space, fragments emerge through exploration of latent space. Most are discarded. What remains are moments that feel discovered rather than constructed, where something familiar appears intact, yet refuses to fully settle. Earlier phases of my work explored how multiple fragments could interact to form a larger perceptual field. Encounters turns that logic inward. Each work now asks a single fragment to carry the full charge of the experience on its own. Across the series, these individual works accumulate into a wider field. Not through sequence, but through presence. **Artist Statement** I create AI-generated video works that explore moments where perception meets something it cannot fully resolve. My focus is on singular encounters: scenes that feel real, immediate, and recognizably grounded, yet hold a quiet instability beneath the surface. I’m not interested in narrative closure or explanation. I’m drawn to moments that remain open, where something is happening, but never fully gives itself away. The work begins by setting conditions rather than trying to force a result. I use AI as a medium for exploration, moving through latent space, testing, selecting, and discarding. Most fragments fall away. I keep the ones that carry presence, tension, and the feeling of something just beyond reach. Each piece is meant to stand on its own. Not as a fragment of a larger story, but as a complete experience contained within a single encounter. For me, AI is not simply a tool for generating images. It is a medium that makes it possible to encounter moments that feel found rather than pre-authored. My role is to recognize when a fragment holds, and to preserve it with precision. **Mission Statement** My mission is to explore AI as a new visual language for capturing moments at the edge of perception. I want to create works that do not explain or resolve, but hold the viewer in a state of attention, tension, and curiosity. Through this practice, I aim to open a space where the familiar and the unknown can coexist, and where meaning is not delivered all at once, but slowly felt.
