Duncan Rawlinson created this AI-assisted artwork combining digital art techniques with contemporary visual storytelling. Two humanoid robotic figures rest side by side on a wrought-iron bench, their clasped hands suggesting intimacy and connection. One figure wears a fox mask, the other a skull decorated with lace tracery that continues down its neck. Both bodies are carved with Netsuke-inspired designs depicting vines and mythical lovers, merging organic motifs with mechanical forms. The monochrome treatment emphasizes texture and shadow, while the park setting—soft-focus trees and pathways—provides a muted backdrop. The piece explores themes of companionship, identity, and the boundary between the human and the artificial.
