This question resonates from early childhood, at a time when the world stands wide open before you.

My series delves into the personas I never became and the roles I do not presently embody. These are the identities that come to life through the medium of AI-driven interactions.

At different stages of my life, I've been drawn to various interests. Some of them I still engage with, while others have taken a back seat, but thoughts of them continue to warm my soul.

The introduction. I upload my photo, AI adjusts my image to its vision. Here, I try to connect with AI, encouraging its creativity while keeping my personal identity.

The deconstruction. The image is formed. Now it's time for the culmination of the entire story. Deconstructing the image, as part of its creation.

As a big fan of interfaces, interacting with AI is incredibly inspiring. Working with prompts feels closer to a human-to-human conversation rather than just clicking buttons and following a pre-designed path.

Each AI model has its own language and, therefore, its individual approach. The moment when the beauty of human-machine communication is revealed.

This series is about “what I could have been” or “what I could have become” – but didn't. By using the professions and inspirations that I dreamed about as a child, these works narrate an alternate reality I could have imagined. All those things that did not come true, but still resonate with me, are somehow reflected in me – and now in these works.

I would have liked to be a priest. But I didn't. I would have liked to be an architect. But I didn't. I would have liked to be a basketball star. But I didn't. I'd like to be an angel. But I'm not.
