Description

Imagine your very beginning – the narrative you were given; the memory you have no recollection of: born inside your mother’s womb; you existed in the world together – you belonged. The connection between your beginning to your present reality, in quarantine for COVID-19, is a familiar feeling to your past, a gentle reminder for the emotion that you have felt many times before, and will continue to feel, this innate yearning – to want nurture, to want care is fundamental to the genetic makeup of who you are, each feeling is awaiting to get back to the beginning, where you had a familiar sense of belonging – you were not alone. I created a voice companion that explores intimacy through tender conversations between me and Alexa, the voice AI of Amazon Echo.
