Short Description
A fragile fusion of machine and nature, this portrait suggests a mind sealed off from the world—blinded not by darkness, but by transformation. The moths, symbols of quiet change and attraction to light, crown the figure as if growth has overtaken perception itself. It speaks to the cost of evolution: in becoming something new, we may lose the ability to truly see.
Process
Generated in MidJourney v6, later on upscaled with Magnific, some time later, colors and lightning adjustments were done in photoshop, also nano banana pro helped me to create other angles of the portrait.
