To Wilt
MFA Thesis Exhibition by Danyal Khorami
Mar 20 to 28 | Step Gallery
Opening reception | Mar 20 | 6 to 9 p.m.
To Wilt is a multimedia installation about romantic love as a temporary event shaped by time and entropy. Using surveillance-like human images, AI-generated dialogues about love, and roses that grow and decay, the work follows not the feeling itself but its residues gestures, records, and traces.
This is not a romance. It is an inquiry into what love becomes under observation: image, transcript, measurement, replay. In translating intimacy into visual data, whether through artificial generation or camera-based capture, the work exposes the instability of emotion when subjected to analysis. The individual's tragedy is structural; each act of capture confirms the disappearance of love.
