    Burn from Absence by Emeline Courcier is a meditation on memory, silence, and the fragile threads that bind generations together. Drawing from her Vietnamese family’s experience of displacement and their philosophy of erasing the past to build resilience, Courcier uses artificial intelligence (AI) as both tool and metaphor.
