The Greeks saw paintings as a window overlooking the sea, trying to bring the witnessed landscapes into enclosed spaces. This became the pinnacle moment that pushed them to develop the art of paintings, perfecting its methods and philosophies to the present day. With that being said, I have always been intrigued in human's behavior to capture moments and create meanings from everything we perceive to be beautiful.

Claude Lorrain painted harmonious landscapes, where nature is presented as more beautiful and ordered than it exists in reality. Claude Monet captured fleeting moments using visible brushstrokes to evoke feeling. Van Gogh sees expression and a soul, as it were in nature. Us humans are intrinsically connected to nature. But reality has limits.

As you know, I have been working with AI as a medium and tool for me to evoke feeling through art, and I see that it stretches things in a different way. Instead of capturing moments in realtime, AI works from data, logic, and references. It doesn't know what a 'true landscape' truly is. It only knows patterns, fragments, and statistical guesses - filling the gaps with algorithm. When it tries to rebuild a landscape, it crosses the boundary differently and creates a version of reality that falls apart the longer you look. Something is off, something doesn’t add up; the scene becomes an unstable version of the real world.

But this series isn’t about AI itself. It's about that exact moment when a believable landscape starts to lose its truth but somehow still contains the feelings we seek. It's about something that has the intention of presenting nature as 'ordered' but somehow end up 'disordered'. It's about real places that turns into something emotionally innacurate.

Akin to aforementioned predecessors, I want the art to communicate with you as viewers.
When the world still looks like nature, but it no longer behaves the way nature should, can you still feel from looking at it?
