Explores the body at the threshold of coherence: identity flickering between possibilities, never settling into fixed form. Images built through cycles of deliberate degradation in DaVinci Resolve — resolution reduced, compression artifacts exposed, colour depth fractured — then processed through Grok (xAI). Soundtrack generated by translating visual sequences into text via ChatGPT and Claude, interpreted by Suno AI into musical stems, then manually composed and layered with field recordings. Single-channel video (7:05 min, 2025).
