Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This sculptural work features a collection of crumpled and draped forms made of a muted, gray-toned material, likely cloth or canvas. The overall composition has a sense of organic fluidity and decay, with the various folds and creases creating a visually striking arrangement. The piece evokes a sense of vulnerability and impermanence, with the medium evoking a sense of fragility and transience. The artist's intention behind this work may be to explore themes of the human condition, the ephemeral nature of existence, or the impact of time and decay on physical forms. ...

In so doing, she explores the duality of skin as an element that is both singular and relational, protective and permeable.
