For this series of unique mixed-media paintings, Ahmed trained an AI to identify the use of wind as a metaphorical device to convey emotions and created an inventory of sentences for his ongoing project the Library of the Winds. Selected sentences are cut or written into marbled backgrounds based on flow visualisations and wind patterns along with the metadata from the AI. This juxtaposition reflects on how we superimpose meaning onto natural phenomena.

[“erosion wind”, “e_3”, “The depression was initiated by either wind or erosion.”]

Depression and erosion could be a meteorological or psychological element here.
