A 29-year-old Almaty resident used AI to generate images reflecting the fears of Kazakh women. A user under the nickname @renesansekz preferred to remain anonymous, but shared with the Tengri Life editors the details of the creative realistic work.
The video, which touched on a topic that is relevant to society, collected 1 million views online. In total, the author provided the public with 10 photographs depicting women of different ages, status and social status. However, one thing connects them to each other - life's realities and fears. According to the author, it took him 8 days to generate the images. The most difficult thing was to write down the tasks without censorship.
Despite the fact that AI provides unlimited possibilities, in matters relating to sensitive topics, it is advisable to follow the rules; showing domestic violence, frankly, is not the easiest task, the author shares.
“I’ve been generating images for about 6 months, and now I wanted to show through AI interesting moments and pressing problems from life in Kazakhstan,” the guy shares.
The pictures turned out to be diverse, and if the first two depict women-mothers who do not hide their emotions and feelings, then in the next frame things are a little different. The "cold-blooded" image shows a Kazakh woman covering up the marks of a beating on her face.
The following picture also touched the users to the depths of their souls. In it, the author depicted the life of Kelin, cleaning the yard alone. This work, as users write, can hardly be called a woman’s job, however, yard work has become a common thing for many girls living in the regions of Kazakhstan.
“This is 85 percent of families in Kazakhstan,” “Now think about those who have experienced and are experiencing this,” “I feel bad knowing that many live such a life,” “I will never allow mine to live like this,” “My mother found me a guy for marriage, he is 10 years older than me. I’m incredibly scared”, “It’s all mentality and upbringing”, “Marriage has destroyed more beautiful ladies than illness”, “The reason why I don’t want to get married at all” “, “I swear, I won’t even raise my voice to her,” users share their opinions.
The author admitted that he was prompted to create the photographs by stories of women and young girls from the Internet living in constant stress and fear.
For the man himself, the closest was the photograph showing the bride with her groom behind her. However, as the artist warns, the point is not about the future husband, but about the fact that the woman in the picture looks extremely unhappy, since she was not given the right to choose.
“It’s not the size of the groom, as many thought, but the fact that she was forced to get married. Her facial expression shows that this was not her choice. She can’t always endure it and fall in love, then problems arise in the form of alcohol, domestic violence and other things,” he concluded.
