Sunward Shell / Containment Icon is generated from the painting Signal Field IV (Offset) (inv. 39MMWP201411), photographed and fed into an early AI model along with Lankina’s fixed “God is a woman…” incantation. The system translates that offset field of marks and displacements into a tall figure encased in a pale, faceted shell. The body appears compressed inside its own architecture, with folds and planes that tilt upward and catch yellow-white highlights like a small, controlled dawn.

The AI image is then output onto Fujifilm Instax Mini film as a single small print. The structure and glitches of the file remain, but the scene is scaled down to a handheld card that has to be approached closely. “Sunward Shell” names both the upward pull of the light and the protective casing around the figure, while “Containment Icon” points to the way this deity reads as a symbol of ascent under pressure: radiance that has been deliberately boxed in. Within Deities and oddities. it pairs with Folded Signal / Voltage Gown as another direct bridge from the Life’s Harmonics chapter into the AI deities, a mythohuman body literally housed inside a displaced field.

AI generated image printed on Fujifilm Instax Mini color film, 1/1, created using a photograph of the painting Signal Field IV (Offset) (inv. 39MMWP201411, acrylic and marker on Yupo, from Life’s Harmonics (Mythohuman Archive, Mid-Analog Chapter)) as image input together with the recurring prompt “God is a woman. Freckles. Bare skin. Linen. Crack in plaster. Love over death. Inspiration over desperation. Surrealistic interpretation,” then printed onto Instax Mini instant film as a one of one artifact.
