In "Thinking for Images - Pandora's Camera", we explored how photography tells stories, shapes meanings, and interacts with technology. We experimented with narratives and with texts like Walter Benjamin's and Marshal McLuhan's being our main influences behind our thought processes, we examined the impact of technology on image-making. This process led me to my final projects. "Distracted." delves into the tension between being present and documenting the moment, focusing on hands as medium of expression. "Nocturne" depicts a story with themes of nostalgia and memory with AI-generated imagery, exploring the unique possibilities AI offers for visual storytelling.
