Part of the System
The only voice heard is the system’s. The unseen c̶r̷e̴a̵t̵i̸v̶e̸s̸ who question it remain unheard. As visuals shift between abstraction and clearer imagery, the line between tool and creator, critique and complicity, is blurred. It questions authorship, consent, and the price of convenience in a world where tools begin to argue for themselves.
