The Deer series began with a near collision on a dark road—a brief but violent moment that revealed the imbalance between humans and nature. That encounter sparked a question: Who came first? While nature follows its rhythms, human technology has disrupted centuries of order. In my pen drawings, this tension manifests as collisions between intelligence and instinct, authority and survival. The question carried into another experiment: generating an AI image of a deer in an apocalyptic landscape, then repainting it by hand. The process asks again which image came first, and how the meaning changes depending on its origin.
