The Burgeoning No 1 Intertwining my photographs of withered leaves on the surface of a forest pond and images I generated with AI, The Burgeoning Series explores the intersection between the natural world and technology, serving as a contemplative journey that urges viewers to reconsider the dichotomy between the organic and the synthetic. Through the lens of artificial intelligence, I delve into the potential for technology to act as a powerful ally in the preservation and restoration of our planet with the fervent hope that we can foster a symbiotic relationship between the natural and the technological realms to restore and protect the environment for future generations.
