Anatomy of a Drowning
By Ilayda Celep
This work presents AI as a system of consumption where the human body becomes raw material. By placing my own body inside the images, I exist within the process as it transforms life into extraction. The mermaid appears as a fractured organism where flesh, machine, and environment collapse. Creation becomes a closed loop of mutual consumption, dissolving agency into unstable survival. *Hybrid Generative Art · 2026*
