This is a series of three generative kinetic poems that express and embody the thoughts and feelings of an artist undergoing an emotional and existential crisis.

The textual content of each piece is generated by a large language model, based on prompts with detailed descriptions of the author's state of mind. The number of words is limited by alphanumeric displays (e.g., the need to fit in 32 characters), as well as the physical/kinetic nature of the devices.

The works are movable objects kept in black color with the displays. Each piece was entirely designed by the artist and printed on a 3D printer.
