The Portraits...

My work is a visual response to what I read in the newspaper and mass media. Intrigued by a news article (https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/security-lancaster/about/news/ai-generated-faces-are-more-trustworthy-than-real-faces-say-researchers-who-warn-of-deep-fakes-1), discussing how AI created portrait to be more trustworthy than real human beings’ photographs, I began creating portraits from real and AI-generated pictures, aiming to discern any differences in my creative process between real and synthetic subjects. To simulate the diverse array of information processed by AI in its creative endeavors, I employ a technique of mixing various elements from previously crafted portraits. This approach imbues the portraits with a timeless and genderless quality, bordering on the surreal.

I adopted the etching technique to highlight the human hands' presence.
