Kiss, like flower, like water. Part 2
Many people don’t understand what I tried to do with this series. Often, things appear to me as mere illusion. My images are expression of my emotions — a state of mind. They can be flowers, people, abstract shapes. But they’re saying the same thing.
But recently, I met an artist who used to curate the Whitney Biennial for the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. I showed her the first video I did for this series — mostly to show her what’s possible with AI technology. I hope that she could see that you could do a lot more than what’s commercially available.
She said that she’s touched. I think that she understood what I was trying to do. Sometimes I don’t know how to describe what I want to do. Because sometimes what I want to do or say is beyond what human languages can say. Often, I get misinterpreted when I write, because some of the best emotions I wish to say cannot be put into words.
Sometimes, to tell you what I want to say, I must show you how I feel.
