Chimera

Miami, Toronto, 2025



Chimera is a digital artwork that explores the tension between the impulse to name and classify, and the layered, ungraspable complexity of the natural world.

Using AI-generated taxonomic imagery, the work reveals a foundational truth about digital technologies: they operate through rigid systems of categorization, discrete labels, fixed boundaries, clean hierarchies. This rigidity inevitably strains against nature's fluid, continuous character. The piece becomes a contemplative dialogue between analytical order and a reality that refuses to sit still.
