“Jane” is a name given to the artist by a teacher in childhood—yet one absent from her digital presence. Since 2018, she has created daily portraits from Flickr images tagged “Jane.” The project evolved into the Jane Writing Project, where each portrait is uploaded to ChatGPT to generate a new story and image. Viewers encounter this evolving identity through an interactive website and a series of printed books that trace how photo archives, AI, and narrative co-shape “Jane.”
