Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This black-and-white sketch depicts a vibrant iris flower in an expressive, abstract style.

The artist’s combining of the two styles, which originate from vastly different cultures – and her creation of artworks greater than the sum of their parts, elevating both the practice of Āina-kāri and abstraction – represented a cultural collision and hybridity felt and exemplified by the diaspora. ...
