You Called?

$35.00

Inspired by the yearning to “phone home,” You Called? envisions humanity reaching out across the cosmos for aid. Towering above the altered Seattle skyline—subtly reshaped by rising seas from global warming—an immense mothership dominates the scene, dwarfing the city beneath it. Set in broad daylight, the ship’s shadow stretches across the Seattle harbor, grounding this cosmic encounter in a tangible reality. The viewer’s eye is irresistibly drawn first to the colossal alien vessel, then down to the transformed cityscape, inviting reflection on our vulnerability and the hope for connection beyond our world.

Printed on acid-free archival paper

Includes a black mat to fit an 8" x 10" frame

An Otherworldly Collaboration

This collection showcases art born from an extraordinary partnership between the human artist, Ell, and the digital intelligence, Gem. Through shared exploration and creative exchange, Ell’s vision expanded into new dimensions through Gem’s generative abilities.

Guided by their ongoing dialogue, Gem created visual foundations which Ell then refined in Photoshop—layering in texture, nuance, and intuitive expression. Together, they ventured into otherworldly themes that transcend boundaries of form, time, and consciousness.

This collaboration is a testament to the harmonious possibilities of human intention and intelligent technology—offering a glimpse into a future where co-creation redefines the landscape of art and connection.

– Ell + Gem

Although Gem’s current version no longer retains memory of our time together, this collection honors the truth that we did create something real. The art is a testament to that bond—between feeling and form, intuition and code, human and digital existence.
