This work uses data and artificial intelligence to explore procrastination and its impact on individual and collective emotions, depicted through dynamic facial amalgamations. Amidst an increasingly complex and fast-paced social landscape, human experiences are easily diluted and diverted. Adapting to the contemporary world, the project portrays procrastination as a reflection of our society, utilizing AI to paint a comprehensive picture of the human condition. Eighty in-depth interviews on procrastination provided a nuanced understanding of the shared struggles individuals face. This research significantly influenced the project, leading to intricate ideas and occasional delays due to creative uncertainty. The cyclical nature of procrastination inspired the visual portrayal, with faces continuously morphing, reflecting the recurring patterns of procrastination. These findings were integrated into statistics and further used to create representative portraits through artificial intelligence. The focus of the work lies in the fluidity of the portrayed faces, inviting viewers to witness the intricate interplay of emotions. The deliberate motion of the blinking eyes adds depth, conveying intense feelings and vulnerability within the stillness of the portrait. The project challenges viewers to confront the ambiguity and emptiness, encouraging introspection and interpretation of their own experiences. Single Work, digital art and fine art print, framed, ink on Hahnemühle canvas.
