Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II on the 8th September 2022, the internet quickly filled with memes suggesting that the late royal reincarnated into Malibu Barbie, the daughter of American Youtube star Trisha Paytas, who was born only a day later. Inspired by the conspiracy theory, this project includes astrological charts of both women, overlaid on top of a collage exploring the aesthetic of spiritual TikTok. The images were made using a text-to-image machine learning model and the final version of the project is an inkjet print bolted between two layers of laser cut perspex sheet.
