    paper Confluence of curiosity
    Confluence of Curiosities is a captivating series of AI-generated images that delve into the rich, interconnected relationships within nature. This project invites viewers to reconsider how we might embody an ethic of kinship and care within a multispecies community. Each image in the series dissolves traditional boundaries, highlighting the delicate symbiosis and mutual dependence that define life on Earth. Informed by Deborah Bird Rose's concept of "shimmer," rooted in indigenous wisdom, and Anna Tsing's call for renewed attention and curiosity as vital survival practices, the collection acts as visual gateways into a mesmerizing forest universe. By presenting viewers with vivid portrayals of multispecies kinship, Confluence of Curiosities challenges us to shed our illusions of separation. It encourages embracing a deeper ethic of care and recognition of our shared existence, ultimately advocating for a more empathetic and sustainable coexistence within the expansive family of life.
