AI Video - Organic Mutations
A visual study exploring nature’s silent transformations, “Organic Mutations” investigates the
metamorphosis of fungal textures into marine organisms such as fish, jellyfish, and seahorses. Despite
inhabiting different environments, fungi and marine life share structural kinship—organic permeability,
rhythmic respiration, and slow growth. The project envisions these habitats as evolutionary phases of a
single organism, creating a quiet continuity between land and sea. Matte, porous surfaces evoke the
tension between growth and stillness, offering a visual meditation on decay, regeneration, and the
transmission of form within nature’s cycle.
“Organic Mutations” was developed through Adobe Firefly, where the first conceptual compositions took form.
The still images evolved into hyperreal short video sequences via Krea AI (WAN 2.5), each exploring mat textures, breathing pores, and the fluid continuity of organic motion.
Edited in Adobe Premiere Pro, the sequences emphasized nature’s evolving morphology.
Finally, the forms were converted into 3D models in Krea AI and refined in Blender with custom lighting and backgrounds.

BioGem Mutations
An AI-assisted visual study exploring the transformation of coral-like organic life into gemstones. The
series envisions a continuity between living organisms and precious stones, where coral structures
fossilize into luminous gems, reflecting the passage of time, pressure, and decay. Soft organic textures
evolve into reflective surfaces, meditating on fragility, and permanence.
