“For installations such as Enuma Anu Enlil, I create large collections of digital image material: screenshots from social media, memes, search-engine results, AI-generated images, self-taken photographs, product and product-review photos, stock images, and video stills. I have selected image sections printed on aluminum composite panels and cut into shape. I suspend these pieces from the ceiling using braided fishing lines. I arrange the composition during the installation process in the space.”
