This evocative series, titled "The Primordial Bond," explores the universal language of motherhood and protection within the mammal kingdom. Spanning diverse global ecosystems—from the ethereal, sun-drenched savannas and the dense, emerald rainforests to the silent, frigid arctic and the deep celestial blue of the oceans—each piece captures a singular moment of tenderness and survival.

The collection utilizes cinematic lighting and atmospheric depth to highlight the intricate textures of fur, skin, and water. By focusing on the intimate gaze and physical proximity between mother and offspring, these images transcend traditional wildlife representation, aiming for an artistic interpretation of the instinctual duty to protect. The compositions vary from wide, narrative landscapes to tight, emotional portraits, creating a rhythmic visual journey through the most vulnerable and powerful stages of life in the wild.

These images have been generated by Artificial Intelligence.

I think that AI image generation is similar in many ways to photography. The camera itself handles all the fine details, but the photographer is in charge of curating the types of images that will be created.

Ultimately, it is all about maximizing the probability that something good will be created.

This is very similar to AI image generation, in terms of the skills involved and what the human does vs. what the machine does.

You can't compare AI image generation to the process of actually making these images from scratch with 3D software or paint/pencils, where the human controls every detail.

However, I think the process really is very similar to that of photography, as I made the case for above. I think that DALL-E 3 is by far the most powerful AI image generation tool currently available.

The term "collective memory" denotes the aggregate of memories and knowledge, that a social group holds, which is intrinsically linked to the group's identity. Maurice Halbwachs, a philosopher and sociologist, developed this concept in his 1925 work, «Les cadres sociaux de la mémoire». Various social collectives can create, disseminate, and inherit collective memory.

Contrary to the term "collective memory, the notion of "collective memories" is inherently problematic. Memories are the results of the individual acts of recollection, making the idea of "collective memories" paradoxical. Diffusion models, utilizing vast amounts of data, including historical and personal old photographs, may be seen as involved in the prompts-driven singular acts of remembrance, producing images that paradoxically represent "collective memories," something otherwise unfeasible and ultimately, non-existent.
