In recent years, my practice has expanded into the digital realm, using artificial intelligence as both a catalyst and a conceptual tool. I approach AI not as a neutral tool but as a social mirror, a reflection of collective memory and omission. The biases, distortions, and repetitions embedded in algorithms echo the same forces that produce displacement and inequity in the physical world. Through this dialogue with machine learning, I continue to explore how truth, like material, is layered, unstable, and continually reassembled. In this respect, the work is an act of reclamation, of materials, histories, and voices that might otherwise remain unseen. It is a practice of respeto: a recognition of what once was and what endures.
