The Losers

Graphite on canvas.
Each roughly 22x25cm, 2021.

In order to create this series of portraits, I assembled pictures of my parents as young adults in a software using A.I. This created an infinite number of A.I. generated portraits including my parents’ facial features. An infinite number of possible outcomes for my own face, of hypothetical other me’s. I called them “The Losers”.

I thought this series as an ode to randomness. In a time where we try to control everything and even started to create babies à la carte, randomness is a source of magic in life that I think is necessary to preserve.
