WALL ART: An Incomplete Portrait of Inez is a unique five-panel photographic installation exploring the fluid boundaries between human, machine, and memory. Each large-format panel blends generative AI imagery, hand-collaged photographic elements, lenticular overlays, and traditional photography to depict imagined embodied AI companions across time. The backgrounds shift between real desert landscapes and artificial backdrops, emphasizing the blurred line between fact and fiction. The panels are printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag and framed individually (white frames). The installation will be displayed in a linear sequence on a wall, allowing viewers to move along the work and engage with the materiality, collage textures (including lenticular overlays), and layered storytelling embedded within each piece.

Dimensions:
48" x 198" x 1.3125" (framed in 5 panels)
Each panel image area is 45.5" x 36.5" printed on 47" x 38" sheets

SCULPTURE: Alongside the wall installation, a seated Real Doll figure may be included as a sculptural element. Positioned in the same gray chair depicted in the fifth panel, the doll will wear a silver metallic top and pants, posed with her head resting in her lap. This physical presence extends the themes of embodiment, fragmentation, and artifice beyond the two-dimensional panels, creating a dialogue between image and object and inviting viewers into a deeper encounter with the speculative world of the work. The sculptural element also amplifies one of the central tensions of the installation: the slippage between real and unreal. Although the fifth panel is a straight photograph of the Real Doll, it can be misread as an entirely AI-generated image, further underscoring the difficulty of discerning what is real, artificial, or somewhere in between. NOTE: Although this Real Doll can be animated (requires electricity), it will not be on except for planned activations. The Real Doll sculptural element is not for sale at this time.

The wall art and the sculptural element do not need to be in the same area (they can be in different parts of the exhibition space).
