For the Miami Art Week, CRAITR unveils its inaugural collection, shedding light on the external perception of how an AI, trained by humans, looks on our society today. 

A particular emphasis is placed on the younger generation, navigating the delicate balance between self-realization and self-destruction while seeking meaning and purpose on our planet.

The selected portraits are the focal point of this exhibition. It’s a way for our society to gaze into its own reflection; input equates to output.

Carol P. Govaert

Carol is a first-generation American of Latin American descent. As a conceptual photographer, she is both eclectic and experimental. Her work isn’t confined to a specific genre; rather, it’s characterized by a distinct atmosphere, one that is moody, eerie, melancholic, and cinematic. What truly inspires her is the darker side of life. 

Carol is captivated by the shadowy, murky, and sometimes depraved aspects of human nature. Photography serves as her medium for processing the world’s complexities and her own fears.
