In “Silent Dialogues,” Duncan Rawlinson presents a collection that is deeply inspired by the concept imparted by David Perell: the empowering act of removing the word ‘should’ from one’s vocabulary. This series stands as a visual representation of that inspiration, encouraging viewers to engage with the world as it is, not as it ‘should’ be. Rawlinson’s use of photography and artificial intelligence imaging techniques crafts a silent yet potent conversation between the viewer and the art, pushing the boundaries of unsaid expectations and allowing the natural world to be experienced without prescriptive narratives. Each image, a fusion of organic detail and digital craftsmanship, offers a unique perspective on the potential of life unshackled by the constraints of ‘should’, illuminating the beauty of unspoken possibilities.
In Duncan Rawlinson’s latest exploration, the latent spaces of AI and machine learning intersect with the art of photography, presenting a vision of directed panspermia—the seeding of life across the cosmos.

This image, titled “Solitary Progression,” is a freeze-frame of contemplation, capturing a figure halted mid-stride, struck by a profound realization. Through Duncan Rawlinson’s lens, where photography coalesces with the sophisticated nuances of artificial intelligence, the homage to Alberto Giacometti’s “Walking Man I” is re-envisioned. Here, the emphasis shifts to a moment of stillness—a departure from movement—where the figure is caught in an introspective interlude. The sculpture, embodying tranquility, stands as a metaphor for the sudden epiphanies that arrest us on life’s journey. It’s as if the figure has stumbled upon an unexpected truth, and in that silent revelation, time stands still. The stark stillness that surrounds the figure is more than a physical pause; it marks an intersection of cognitive awakening and the existential journey. Rawlinson’s work is a symphony of AI and human artistic vision, a testament to the latent power of technology meeting the depth of human inquiry. This piece resonates with the innate human quest for moments of insight along the paths we tread.
In a cozy corner of a winter-clad village, where chimneys always puffed like old men smoking pipes and the snow lay thick as a down comforter, there lived two little snowmen, no taller than a toddler’s laugh. They were born from the mirthful hands of children, with pebble-smiles wide and carrot-noses brave, standing sentry in a garden dusted with nature’s icing sugar.
On a special Christmas morning, as the world awoke to a blanket of silence only snow can weave, the little snowmen stood with their scarlet scarves snug, exchanging glances that sparkled like the star atop the village Christmas tree.
“Look at the lights, so merry and bright,” said the first little snowman, his button eyes gleaming with each flicker of the distant lanterns.
“And feel the warmth,” replied the second, “even as the frost nips at our snowy cheeks.”
Though made of snow, they held a warmth known only to the heart, a glow no winter’s chill could diminish. They watched families gather, their laughter spilling out of windows, frosting the panes with joy. They saw the old widow next door smile, her eyes alight with memories as sweet as the Christmas pudding she shared with a knock on her door.
The little snowmen knew the magic of Christmas wasn’t just in the opening of presents, but in the opening of hearts. They stood, tiny in size but boundless in the love they witnessed, a love that knit the village together like the scarves around their necks.
As evening fell and the sky blushed with sunset, the snow began to fall again, each flake a whisper of the night’s peace. Inside the homes, families gathered by the fire, sipping hot chocolate that warmed them to their toes, and outside, the little snowmen smiled, their spirits as warm as the hearths behind the walls.
And in that moment, the little snowmen weren’t just figures of snow, but beacons of the season’s spirit, reminding all who glanced their way that warmth comes not from the fire in the hearth, but from the love in our hearts.
As the night drew its curtain, the snowflakes danced like sugar fairies, the world was a snow globe, and the little snowmen, with their hearts full of Christmas, sent out wishes of joy, peace, and love to all, a silent carol for a holy night.
And so, with a wink from the moon, they stood, these little guardians of Christmas, cradling the village in a hug as tender as a mother’s whisper, “Merry Christmas, dear ones, from these little dudes.”
