Visual Storytelling

The Last Garden – A Myth from the Algorithmic Future grew out of a curiosity about what happens when a machine tries to remember a world it never truly knew. I wanted to explore how AI reconstructs nature, not accurately, but through guesswork, longing, and the strange poetry of hallucination.
As I generated images, I realized the most meaningful moments weren’t the perfect ones, but the glitches: vines that grow like cables, roots that braid into circuitry, rituals reimagined through a logic that isn’t human. These misremembering became the heart of the project. They reveal how an algorithm, fed fragments of our past, invents new myths in the gaps.
What matters to me is the emotional space this work opens up. By watching AI struggle to rebuild a lost ecosystem, I can reflect on our own desire to hold onto what is disappearing–plant life, memory, patterns of connection. The images aren’t meant to predict the future but to mourn, imagine, and wonder.
The Last Garden isn’t about AI replacing nature. It’s about how technology tries and fails and tries again to carry something forward for us. In that effort, a new kind of beauty emerges part memory, part invention, part grief.
