Haiku: laughing
I have been playing with the Deep Dream Generator (an AI image generator which takes your base photo and/or instructions into consideration while constructing the image), trying to make images which illustrate some of the many many haikus I have written.
I thought I would show a few of them to you all.
This was based on a photo of my sister laughing, just a year before she died. Alzheimers took her memories of her life, her jobs, her adventures, her travels.... but it never took away her soul, her love, or her laughter. It would have eventually taken away even that, but she died of kidney failure before the Alzheimers could kill her more slowly. She never stopped being accepting, gracious, kind, cheerful, and loving. I was so impressed by her amazing attitude. I don't know if I would be able to be like that if my memories were being erased. Maybe, with her example in front of me, I could.
I liked the image (although I had to work on it a LOT to fix weirdnesses) because on the right side is a mass of dark flowers, which to me seems to symbolize her memories fading into darkness, and behind her are what might be interpreted as angel's wings, waiting for her.
This woman doesn't actually look like my sister, but I really liked it anyway. Here is a link to the original photo of my sister, upon which this AI generated image was based:

The haiku I wrote, which this is supposed to illustrate, reads:
Seeing you laugh while
Your memories disappear...
I am in awe of you.
