No one is free from struggle in life. Even those who seem to have an easy path still have their own adversities to overcome. But there is one refuge every person may rely on to deliver a reprieve from hardships: our imaginations. This is the place of true freedom, where we can be anything, do anything, and create anything, and no one can prevent us from escaping there.

This piece is a 1/1 edition created by Maneki Neko for the "AI Is Freedom" exhibition at the Mecenate Fine Art Museum in Rome, Italy from September 23rd - 29th, 2022.

It began as a text-to-image collaboration with an AI called Stable Diffusion to synthesize images for a particular vision. After many variations were created, the best were curated and collaged in Photoshop. The piece was finished with editing of colors and intricate details to execute the full expression of the the original vision.
