I aim to explore human loneliness and the deep desire for an emotional interspecies connection; be it with AI, other civilizations in the universe, wild animals, or nature. I am fascinated by the human projection towards AI and other digital imaginary products, which raises complex questions of morality, ethics, love, and how we adjust inter-human relationships to the ones we create with technologies. Perhaps the vast human desire to control - politically, spiritually and corporeally - is, after all, rooted in a deep existential fear?
