// the cycle of death and rebirth to which life in the material world is bound //

Religious AI-generated images embroidered on fabric, engraved in wood, and block-printed on my attire permeate the body along with a slow release of dyed water. I reflect on the material reality of sacred mythologies and the fallacies of religious purity and absolutism through algorithmic irregularities embedded within AI as a reflection of human society. The work investigates the mechanical reproduction of thought and perception through advanced technologies. 

I question the religious violence perpetrated in the present. It subversively obscures reality through memory, presents paradoxes, and portrays a series of interconnected algorithms within the human and the artificial, the tangible and intangible, mundane and spiritual. Through generating multiple patterns with various permutations and combinations, I reflect on the plurality of traditions and norms amid which we exist and deflect the binary, monolithic identity. I situate my work within the tensions of artistic authenticity, cultural authority, the impossibility of the algorithm, and its fundamental dependence on material production.
