Description

Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork depicts a person holding a firearm, with a stern expression on their face. The composition is centered on the individual, with bold, warm colors like red and orange dominating the background.

Overall, the piece invites the viewer to contemplate the complexities of the human condition and the role of violence in modern society. ...

Richard Kern, photographer and filmmaker remains, first and foremost, a portraitist.
