"My aesthetic foundation draws from two primary sources. One is classical Chinese drawings depicting gardens and architecture. The other is pixel art from retro computer games. I was exposed to both growing up in China: one represents tradition and the past, while the other symbolizes digital innovation and the future. This blend evokes feelings of nostalgia while also sparking thoughts about future possibilities."

THE BEGINNING AND END OF BOOKS by Element Lee explores context and imagery through words and AI. The artist chose 21 books he read and selected the first and last sentences of each book as prompts to create text-to-image AI generations on multiple platforms with different styles. 
THE BEGINNING AND END OF BOOKS is an experimental practice in transformation, interpretation, and misinterpretation.
