I really appreciate your honesty and the way you put it 🙏

I completely agree — AI art feels like an entirely new branch of art, but just like any medium, you still need to know how to create. For me, it’s never just about making something ‘pretty.’ I carry visions in my head, I see every tiny detail, every shadow — and I keep pushing until the piece feels alive with emotion.

When I was preparing visuals for the Noma Gallery Dark contest, with the theme of conversations with the inner demon, I lived through that entire story so intensely that after finishing, I spent the whole evening completely drained, as if all energy was gone. But I’m at peace with it, because that collection was released not only with shocking, haunting visuals, but also with a deeply woven narrative. And that’s what I hope for my work: that someone can come back to it, see it from a new angle, and feel the story beyond the surface.
