What happens when a 19th-century matriarch meets the 21st century? By feeding archival fragments and family lore into AI, I invited my great-great-grandmother across the digital void for a surreal conversation. She is impressed by our medicines but bemused by our dating apps; she champions our autonomy while casting a skeptical eye on the 'trad wife' trend. ‘Take Your Great-Great-Grandmother to Work Day’ is the visual record of this wry, emotive exchange: a bridge between her survival-driven reality and our world of high-speed anxiety.
