After multiple rounds of interpreting Sasha Stiles’ poem and writing it down with pen on paper. I created a prompt able to contain the essence of her writing and ran it through a myriad of different AI tools, to have it create the different textures and depth.

Then Trevor Jones brought in a surprise angel, enriching the process and stirring the pot. Several hours, lots of thoughts and hundreds of outputs later, I finally reached this result.

In connecting the poem, the painting and my artwork, I focused on how artists inspire each other. We are all part of this elaborate ecosystem, comparable to how nature reproduces, we create art that inspires other artists to create. The bird in the center depicts an artist teaching and inspiring other artists, like a mother bird the other birds learn to fly, and the ripples in the water spreads further and further. This is where the reference is also connected to Trevor’s artwork, the angel, Bitcoin and crypto with everything that it is, it supports artists and creates disrupting possibilities.

In the end, we are all connected in the sky through the bird app.
