This piece was born from a moment of intense personal frustration. I titled it Angry Monkey because that was the raw emotion I poured into every brushstroke. However, when I ran this piece through my AI-auditing process, the analytical model did not agree with my title insiting the monkey was not angery—instead it insested the monkey was stoic or watchful. ​This 'failed' communication is exactly why I’ve included it in the Experimental Lab. It captures the fascinating gap between an artist's internal state and external legibility. To 'save' the piece, I added layers of gold ink, creating a juxtaposition between the heated emotion of the initial sketch and a refined, icon-like finish. It is a record of a feeling that refused to be categorized."
