In this episode of Liminal Lines, I return to the mic with a personal reflection on one of the most polarizing questions in the creative world:

Is it still art if artificial intelligence helped make it?

We explore what happens when accessibility challenges tradition, when tools shift what we call “real,” and when the weight of time spent is treated as the proof of passion. I share the story of how I fell in love with photography as a teen — without the right tools, the trendy gear, or even my own phone — and how those early limitations shaped my creative identity.

But this episode isn’t just for artists.

It’s for anyone who’s ever felt like they had something to say but didn’t have the “right” way to say it.

Because whether or not we call ourselves creatives, we all wrestle with how we define value:

Is it the process? The polish? The product?

Or is it the story behind it all?
