This series explores personal visions of the future—created at the intersection of human imagination and artificial intelligence. The artist invited people from diverse backgrounds to generate their own image of a future city using AI. She also photographed each participant in front of their current home.

Beneath each AI-generated image, the original prompt used is displayed. This pairing offers a glimpse into individual hopes and dreams, while also documenting the evolving capabilities of AI-generated imagery over time.

Participants were free to envision either a utopia or a dystopia. Interestingly, most imagined futures filled with greenery and nature. Despite today’s many challenges, this reflects a deeply rooted optimism—suggesting that our view of tomorrow is still guided by hope.
