Exploring AI
How can I as a creative work with AI?
To both be creative but also effective?

VISUAL COMPOSITION BREAKDOWN
AI as Sketch, Design as Intention
AI as Sketch, Design as Intention
This piece explores the layered process behind one of my collage-based artworks. While the individual elements were AI-generated, each part has been retouched, cut, rearranged, and rebalanced to serve the visual flow and emotional intent.
Rather than using AI as a finished solution, I treat it like a sketchbook – full of potential, but shaped by human intuition.
The final result combines natural forms with abstract structure, creating contrast, focus, and movement across the composition.
This process reflects how I approach all creative tools — with intention, curiosity, and care.
AI BREAKDOWN
AI as a Foundation — Design as the Craft
AI as a Foundation — Design as the Craft
I use AI as a starting point. Instead of sourcing uncertain material online, I generate base images using Adobe Firefly, which is trained on licensed content. This gives me a faster, more ethical way to explore ideas visually.
The process still takes time. I often generate and review dozens of variations before selecting one that fits. In Photoshop I do quick cleanups, combine, rework and paint over elements.
It's not just about fixing—it's about shaping. AI helps me start faster.
ONGOING BOOK PROJECT
A Tormented Soul
A Tormented Soul
A Tormented Soul is an ongoing fiction project exploring emotional trauma, family history, and the complexity of healing.
This project blends psychological depth with dramatic storytelling, offering readers both an intense narrative and a space for reflection.
Alongside the narrative, I design symbolic chapter illustrations that capture the psychological tone of each section.
This breakdown reveals the design process behind one of the images – a visual reflection of the protagonist’s internal state. I use AI-generated elements as raw material, but reshape them with intentional layering, composition, and symbolic storytelling.
