In my previous work, A Proposal for Singing Algae Power Plant (2023), I explored my longing to reach the green mountain, a world without endless competition and burnout.
The Taste of Tea (2023) continues from there and explores uncanny AI-generated visuals depicting a female body undergoing decay over time, symbolizing the circle of life and the fusion of digital technology with traditional paintings, using AI imagery.
The inspiration is drawn from Kusôzu, which means ‘painting of the nine stages of a decaying corpse’ in Japanese Buddhist paintings. The painting begins with a depiction of a beautiful female body in the first step and illustrates the stages of decomposition, ultimately to nature. This was a practice rooted in the aesthetic ideas of impermanence.
