This series was created through Gemini (Nano Banana) and Midjourney, then refined in Photoshop and Lightroom. It wasn’t collaboration with AI — it was a process of control, patience, and precision. Every prompt became a sketch; every variation, a decision. I worked to build a consistent character — a digital muse that could feel alive through light, tone, and texture. In Lightroom, I unified mood and balance; in Photoshop, I shaped every detail, removing the noise and revealing form. What emerged was something between synthetic and human — a study in how emotion survives in the digital. This is not automation; it’s authorship through new tools. Every image is a deliberate act, every pixel a choice. Creativity doesn’t disappear inside AI — it evolves, finding new ways to speak through code and imagination.
