I Don’t Want Your Garden was inspired by the tension between bureaucracy and ecology — how systems try to regulate the ungovernable: emotion, weather, love, decay. The project explores psychological collapse within an irradiated landscape, using absurdist humor and philosophical dialogue to question who authorizes growth in a world of surveillance and contamination.

I built the film using OpenArt for generating conceptual imagery and worldbuilding, ElevenLabs for voice performance and tonal experimentation, and Veo 3.1 to assemble cinematic compositions that blend realism with digital hallucination.

Through this process, I learned how AI tools can extend narrative texture — not to replace human storytelling, but to visualize the invisible forces shaping our emotional and environmental realities.

One of the main challenges was maintaining human intimacy and fragility within a heavily technological workflow — finding a way for the digital to feel tender, haunted, and alive.
