Kishi's _job_ series consists of an AI-learned and generated image of an occupation, AI rendered bones, and connective strokes of paint. An ode to Gerhard Richter's 48 Portraits, these images are drawn from a selection of 48 images of various people from a specific occupation. In an attempt to minimize any biases, Kishi's selection consists of people of differing ages, nationalities, and genders to form an ageless, multinational, and gender-neutral occupation-based entity.
