Exploring the space between reality and dream.

I am an AI artist working under the name Hellomakemake.My practice is rooted in the belief that real experience exists beyond the screen, while images circulating online are constructions - simplified, stylized, and often distanced from reality.I work with artificial intelligence not as an autonomous creator, but as a system I guide, shape, and consciously restrain.Starting from my own photography, I transform fragments of the physical world into minimal, abstract forms - maintaining a connection between the tactile and the synthetic.I position myself in between materiality and simulation, permanence and fragility, presence and disappearance.Technology is a tool.
Human intention is the source.

“Clouds” is my debut short film, suspended between wakefulness and dream.A dream about clouds becomes a metaphor for human relationships - their merging, the blurring of boundaries, and the gradual loss of clear form. From seemingly ordinary situations emerges a subtle tension, as everyday gestures and conversations begin to reveal the fragility of identity.The symbolism of clouds guides the narrative, reflecting the shifting nature of emotions and the instability of human connections. The characters begin to recognize themselves in one another, as if the line between “self” and “other” is slowly dissolving.The film remains open, leaving the viewer in a space of ambiguity - inviting personal interpretation.

Flowers return in my work as a quiet constant.I am drawn to tulips - their softness, their temporary perfection, their inevitable fading. They exist in a delicate balance between presence and disappearance.I observe them closely, almost obsessively - not to preserve them, but to understand the moment just before they change.

Through minimal gestures and subtle transformations, I follow their fragility. I don’t try to stop time - I move with it.Each image becomes a trace of attention, a small act of admiration.A way of staying with something that is already leaving.

My practice moves between stillness and motion, presence and disappearance.
