“In recent years, the focal point of my life has shifted to revolve around my daughter. The process of being with her is profoundly therapeutic, brimming with creativity, love, and vitality. After she falls asleep at night, I return to the world of adults, where various anxiety-inducing information prevails. It competes with the daytime joy my daughter brings, vying for my attention. I’ve begun to experiment with using artificial intelligence to translate various societal news, events, or certain phenomena into visually related images through textual descriptions. I overlay these images onto the family photos I capture. These automatically generated visual elements make the mundane records of life more visually stimulating. While they vie for the viewer’s attention, they also interlace different life trajectories. After all, occurrences in their lives could also potentially intrude into your and my world, as we all reside on the same planet.”

By generating images related to history, news, and popular events through artificial intelligence and overlaying them onto the author’s family album, a tapestry of personal and collective destinies is created. The hope is to dilute and mitigate the less beautiful aspects of the world through the warmth generated by individual families.
