‘A Thread Between Worlds; A Letter to My Son’, observes the notion and importance of harnessing creativity and self-identity within an increasingly digitalised and AI-driven future. It investigates the tension between analogue, human-curated artistic practices—such as technical hand drawing and painting—and digital disruptions of the contemporary lifestyle. My son belonging to the first AI-native generation, the project aims to emphasise this tension and the need for human artistic creation. Utilising my own childhood photographs and photographs of my son’s early experiences, these are interpreted through observational drawings and colour work. These images are disrupted when digitally layered with a visual language of distortions such as glitches and halftones to develop pattern and depth, conceptually delivering a visual understanding to our relationship to this ever-evolving, algorithm driven modern world. Influenced by Sonia Delaunay, the project applies colour harmony to express connection and emotional unity. A circular motif emerges from observational forms such as Lego, swings, and tunnels, further reinforced through circular structures in halftone filters. This continuous motif becomes established as a consistent visual language, symbolising continuity, connection and the cycle between childhood to adulthood, past to future, analogue to digital.
