Sanders constructs her paintings with layers of imagery depicting prehistoric stone tools, cave paintings, extinct hominids and recently developed AI real dolls encapsulating both the prehuman and posthuman. Veils of acidic hues illuminate scenes of evolutionary self discovery, bringing to question the anthropological distinctions made between anatomically modern and behaviorally modern humans. The juxtaposition of prehistoric and AI imagery flattens the distance in time between the origins and potentiality of self awareness, suggesting that perhaps the threshold of what it means to be human exists at multiple points.
