Where the horizon begins
"Where the Horizon Begins" is a visual and political reflection on the representation of the female body, conceived through images generated by artificial intelligence using prompts derived from archival photographs. In this series, the artist combines technology with a critical lens to transcend traditional narratives and question the historical codes that have defined and limited women in art and visual culture.
The women depicted, always seen from the back and carrying baskets on their heads, are presented as universal symbols of resilience and strength. The baskets, loaded both physically and symbolically, evoke the historical struggles and responsibilities women have undertaken: unpaid labor, invisible caregiving, and the emotional burden of sustaining families and communities. However, these images do not merely portray the weight of these burdens; they also speak of progress, of looking toward a shared horizon where these responsibilities transform into agency and autonomy.
The decision to obscure the faces and focus on the backs of the women carries a profoundly political intention. In a visual culture obsessed with frontality and facial recognition, these images dismantle the act of looking. The absence of faces frees the figures from scrutiny and the categorizations that, for centuries, have reduced women to mere objects of desire or judgment. In this gesture, the women transcend individuality to become archetypes of resistance and autonomy. Their backs, far from signaling retreat, constitute a powerful declaration: an affirmation of existence free from justification, gaze, or face.
These images, born from the dialogue between archival photographs and artificial intelligence algorithms, invite the viewer to reflect on how aesthetic canons and visual memories are created, and how technology can serve as a tool to deconstruct them. The results, while emerging from this interaction, open a space to reinterpret and re-signify historical representations. "Where the Horizon Begins" celebrates the collective strength of women and their progress toward more equitable futures. Each image is an homage to untold stories, an invitation to imagine and construct new narratives centered on dignity, autonomy, and transformation.
