"Overpopulated Symphonies" is an AI post-photography collection providing commentary on the contemporary human condition. Through images of densely populated urban landscapes, it reduces individuals to minuscule points in an overwhelming sea of dots.
Beyond the literal portrayal of overpopulation, the collection uses crowd density as a metaphor for the inundation of information in our modern era. It prompts questions about identity, individuality, and the challenges faced by the human mind in processing the constant surge of data. The figures transcend physical bodies, representing thoughts, ideas, and information, vying for recognition within our mental landscapes.
The title "Overpopulated Symphonies" aims to convey our current reality. "Overpopulated" refers to both physical density and the overflow of information bombarding us. "Symphonies" suggests harmony and order, offering an optimistic counterpoint to the chaos portrayed, hinting at the potential for synchronicity in apparent disarray.
