Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist contemporary artwork features a stark contrast between the dark, rectangular central panel and the intricate, tattered white forms that border it. The overall composition creates a sense of tension and fragmentation, with the jagged edges and uneven textures lending a raw, industrial quality to the piece.

As a bi-racial, gay woman from Plymouth in South West England, Sasraku’s identity is also entangled with rural Britain, something she has examined through recent analogue film projects. ...
