Description:

Gen/esis portrays my relationship with Abel, the synthetic male version of myself, through a blend of photography, CGI, and generative AI, materialized as a textile print.

The title of the work fractures the word gen/esis, which shares the Proto-Indo-European root *gene- with generative and gender, alluding to themes of birth, production, and creation. Through its exploration of image construction methods and language, the work traces the representation of gender and the creation of icons back to their early Christian and Latin forms.
