These three projects began in 2021, during a time when the spread of pandemics was profoundly reshaping relationships between people, environments, and wider ecological systems. At the same time, the rapid development of artificial intelligence — especially the emergence of generative AI tools — prompted me to reflect on the position of humans within a world shared with technology, nature, and other living beings.

Against this backdrop, I became increasingly aware that we live in a world deeply shaped by anthropocentric thinking. In our relationships with nature, technology, and other forms of life, human interests are often placed first by default. Yet the spread of disease, ecological imbalance, and accelerating technological change have all made me question whether anthropocentrism is not just a habit of thought, but one of the underlying causes of many contemporary crises.

Through three different relationships — animal and human, machine and human, plant and human — these projects explore de-anthropocentric perspectives. Rather than simply representing non-human entities, they ask what happens when humans are no longer positioned as the unquestioned center, and when control, authorship, and agency begin to shift elsewhere.
