Poetic License

Created with AI but rooted in emotion and memory, Poetic License explores the fragile line between human intention and machine creativity. Each image holds small fractures — imperfect gestures that, like poetry, twist logic to find freedom.

A photographic study of memory and imagination

Poetic License is a series of images created with the help of artificial intelligence — shaped by her experiences, emotions, and imagination.

Each work carries both fascination and fracture. At first glance, the images may seem whole, yet closer inspection reveals quiet irregularities: twisted forms, awkward details, gestures that feel almost human but never fully arrive. She chooses not to hide these peculiarities, but to embrace them — because within their imperfection, meaning already exists.

Just as poetry bends grammar and twists logic to claim freedom, these images hold their own poetic license. The gaps are not flaws, but spaces where imagination expands — places where the seen and unseen meet.

This series is not merely a collection of images.

It is a dialogue between control and release, precision and chance, human intention and machine cognition — a negotiation that allows new meanings to take root.
