NATURÆ is a contemplative series that interrogates the evolving relationship between technological creation and ecological degradation. Using artificial intelligence as both a medium and a mirror, the project generates hyperreal landscapes—scenes of breathtaking beauty that echo the romantic sublime—only to unravel them through traces of environmental damage subtly. This aesthetic shift from harmony to disruption evokes a quiet unease, revealing the fragility of the natural world beneath its digital veneer. The series operates at the intersection of simulation and reality, where nature is not documented but algorithmically imagined. In this space, AI becomes a surrogate for memory, reconstructing ecosystems that may no longer exist or are on the verge of collapse. The landscapes are not representations of place, but speculative fictions—composite visions shaped by data, code, and cultural longing. Philosophically, NATURÆ engages with posthumanist thought and the aesthetics of the Anthropocene. It reflects on how technological systems, while capable of mimicking organic beauty, are also complicit in the processes that threaten it. The work does not offer solutions; instead, it stages a visual meditation on loss, transformation, and the paradox of progress. It suggests that in the digital age, even our dreams of nature are mediated by the very forces that erode it. By blending the synthetic with the organic, NATURÆ invites viewers to confront the contradictions of contemporary existence—where creation and destruction, memory and forgetting, coexist in a single frame.
