Echoes of Entropy explores the fragile boundary between cosmic expansion and biological decay, between the vast scale of galaxies and the microscopic world of living organisms. by iteratively training an AI model on images of nebulae, quasars, ocean waves, and microorganisms, each generated frame carries traces of its predecessors while simultaneously losing information — a digital erosion reminiscent of the thermodynamic law of entropy. what begins as an attempt to reconstruct an observable reality gradually dissolves into an autonomous visual language, where original forms fragment and merge into something entirely new. Echoes of Entropy questions the reliability of representation and the role of artificial intelligence as an imperfect archivist of memory and loss: to what extent do origin and meaning persist in a system where noise, distortion, and absence shape the creative process as much as the intent to preserve?
