Balance

Ali Darwiche

My name is Ali Darwiche, and I am a first-year medical student at the University of Michigan Medical School. Although my primary interest centers around poetry, I am very much interested in art. I have thus been using AI to generate various images that capture how I feel––images that resonate more than words ever can. This piece––I call "Balance"–– symbolizes the delicate interplay between the traditional and progressive aspects of medicine. As someone who has witnessed the stark contrasts between struggle and advancement, I understand the vital role of empathy in healing. The scales in the image represent the scientific rigor and human compassion in healthcare—both necessary to truly revive and heal. My personal journey from a war-torn land to the field of medicine informs my belief that while technology advances, the heart of care remains constant. This artwork is a visual narrative of revival, balancing the timeless essence of empathy with the ever-evolving tools of medical science.

This is an AI-generated piece. Below is further information on how this piece was created:

The author used an online AI called Dall-E, which is integrated with ChatGpt. This process required tailoring the image to what they envisioned the piece to look like before starting the process. They continued to make multiple iterations of the image until the elements of the image were generated as desired.
