If AI is asked to create a fish, it may reproduce scales, shape, color — every visible trait. Yet that fish has never lived. It is stitched from countless references, a creature that belongs to no ocean and no memory.
Today, as reality feels heavy and uncertain, people increasingly escape into the artificial. AI turns the real into simulation. But art is not simulation — art is resistance, tenderness, and choice.
This work imagines an artist thinking like a machine, not to surrender, but to reclaim. I draw a fish the way AI might fabricate one, yet with human instinct, emotion, and imperfection.
It is my quiet rebellion: a soft voice from an illustrator declaring that creativity is not data, and imagination cannot be automated.
