This project presents a framework for analyzing the human condition: from the superficial self to the emotional and affective dimensions, and the underlying mechanisms of identity, perception, and consciousness.

Content from personal diaries, poems, and philosophical excerpts have been collected and fed into custom generative AI systems that assisted in producing a series of media artifacts (including images, animations, and a VR space) that offer a unique view to the human psyche and self.
