PROMPTING THE OCEAN: NAVIGATING A SEA CHANGE
Artist Statement: “Prompting the Ocean” – A Visual Metaphor for Generative Dialogue
This triptych explores the evolving relationship between human intention and artificial intelligence through the lens of prompt engineering.
In the first panel, a solitary dot floats in an empty field—a visual metaphor for the moment a user begins a conversation with an AI, unaware of the vast potential beneath the surface. It represents the minimal input, the unformed spark, the seed of a question in a sea of possibility.
The second panel introduces form: clouds sketch themselves into the sky, waves emerge in soft pencil lines. This is the moment where a prompt begins to take shape—when a user offers context, relevance, and intention. The scene begins to reveal itself, much like how AI begins to produce more meaningful responses when given thoughtful guidance.
The third panel is a fully rendered seascape—clouds heavy with dimension, waves alive with motion. Here, the ocean symbolizes the depth of knowledge, nuance, and creative power that can be accessed through well-crafted input. With clarity and purpose, the user and AI co-create something rich and expansive.
This piece is rendered in a realistic pencil-comic style to evoke both technical precision and the timeless, hand-drawn quality of human authorship. It serves as a visual reminder that great outputs start not with a trick—but with clear thinking, generous context, and collaborative imagination.
