The Subjective Body
Through a series of ink and calligraphic acrylic drawings, Hana Gauer explores the human body as an ambiguous world — unable to fully hide or reveal who we are.
Our experiences, roots, wounds, pleasures, and fears are encoded in it, forming an emotional map beneath the surface.
The body becomes a subjective mirror of identity — an inner perception rendered in line and gesture.

The Computed Body
The second part of the work contrasts this human gaze with that of artificial intelligence.
Using a generative algorithm, the artist brings forth AI-dreamed human forms — approximate, unstable, eerily familiar.
She reinterprets them in watercolor, ink, or oil, giving shape to a dissolving humanity.

Drawn from fractals, circuits, roots or rusted textures, these figures blur the line between life and artifact.
They look like bodies. They move, dance, communicate.
But they are not us.
They are simulacra.
Recalculated human shapes, filtered through a statistical lens — distorted, uncertain.
