The work is a liquid meditation that invites the viewer to follow the journey of undulating synthetic and organic forms. The foundation of the training set for Tau’s custom AI model are photographs of found objects from the artist’s surroundings, mostly made of glass and plastic. These objects, so ingrained in our daily existence, often fade into the background of our routine lives. Yet, they hold a profound significance, standing as both the pillars and the byproducts of our relentless consumer culture, emblematic of the human imprint on the natural world. The liquid watery forms that these artificial objects take on, pay reminiscence to water and ocean images, to nature and beauty they would dream to imitate. Sadly, this beauty is under threat from these synthetic products. This work, thus, becomes a paradoxical ode – a tribute to the elegance of the natural world, yet a stark reminder of its vulnerability in the face of human-induced pollution.
