The DNA of her essence ( ДНК її сутності in ukrainian) is a conceptual exhibition-monologue on behalf of ukrainian singer Alina Pash about women's worldview and spiritual paradigm as the development of the life thread of Ukrainian literary characters Mavka - Marusya Churai - Sofia.

Part 1. Mavka ( Мавка in ukrainian)- the main character of Lesya Ukrainka's poetic play "The Forest Song." The prototype of the main character is taken from ukrainian mythology. Mavka is a forest creature, close to a mermaid, but lives in the woods. From a visual point of view, it was essential to convey that human is an integral part of nature and vice versa.

The visual part of the project is based on digital collages, and the animation between them is made by the GAN technique. First of all, a large number of collages of nature were created, after which they passed through two artificial neural networks. 

Thanks to this algorithm, you can see how the artificial neural network sees collages with nature made by human.
