Welcome to Cirque Sombre, a menagerie of surreal and astounding images brought forth from the mind of photographer Gregory Bell to the page utilizing A.I. art generation. This groundbreaking series was first created as a therapeutic process for Greg to begin healing from abuse. Strange, beautiful, and at times heartbreaking, this series explores the complex and confusing emotions that the artist himself processed after a toxic relationship."My series initially felt too painful to continue-it was cathartic but at the same time, each creation felt like a hole punched through my chest. It was becoming too much to bear.So then, instead of focusing only on my pain and triggers, I pivoted and added one of my favorite subjects into the process: vintage entertainment. From an aesthetic born of the circus and sideshow, mixed with some of those lingering feelings as I grappled with them...Cirque Sombre was born." -Gregory Bell, 2022
