Case Studies
3 total'Temporary' — 100-Piece AI Art Collection
Created a collection of 100 post-photographic images exploring the five stages of grief through AI-generated art. Generated over 1,500 images using DALL-E 2 and Midjourney, then curated and post-produced the final 100 over 20 days. Each stage mapped to a colour palette — denial in yellow/orange, anger in red/pink.
100 curated works from 1,500+ generations. Released as NFT collection on OpenSea.
