In my ideal future, humankind and technology will advance together rather than at each other's expense. I see a society in which empathy drives innovation, where advancements in technology complement rather than replace human connection, and where creativity is still central to problem-solving, narrative, and community building. I dream for a future that honors variety, safeguards our earth, and values both the intricacy of our biology and the unlimited possibilities of our creativity. I think we can make that future more tangible, more apparent, and eventually more achievable through art.
