SOPHIA & SOPHIA

RESTRICTED FIXATIONS is a subscription-based zine initiative by the artist Renuka Rajiv. Each is centered around a different theme, and runs into eight issues. These drawings were made for the issue themed around KNOWLEDGE/ INTELLIGENCE - awareness, social, emotional, indigenous, machine learning, artificial, ancient, autism spectrum, autodidact, elder, generational, futuristic, collective, non-human, unrecognised, gut…

In the drawings I was trying to explore the relationship between the AI & the divine – Goddess Sophia & Sophia the AI and the idea of seeking & the self.
