"This object is a photographic self-portrait, digitally altered using artificial intelligence, then printed and embroidered by hand. It embodies a dialogue between machine and hand, memory and transformation. For me, it represents the tension between the real and the virtual, the visible and the intimate. It’s a way to reclaim agency over my image in an age where identity can be fragmented, multiplied, or erased by technology. Each stitch becomes a gesture of repair—a ritual of resistance and self-reinvention."
