Hallucination is a poetry collection that considers the boundary between reality and fiction, memory and generation, in an age when generative AI and deepfakes have entered everyday life. Familiar scenes of dusk, snow, and urban sounds meet language suggestive of code and prompts, exploring how we relate to the world amid unstable perception.

Moving between generated images and tangible daily life, these poems ask anew what gives the world before us its shape.
