“Auntieverse Chapter No. 3 #201” is part of the Factory chapter within the Auntieverse. This artwork captures a surreal moment inside a sushi production facility, where aunties take a break from their work to relax in a giant bowl of noodle soup. The image reflects the unique culture and daily life within the factory, offering a glimpse into the ways aunties navigate their structured yet oddly playful work environment.

The Auntieverse Factory is a large-scale production hub where aunties manufacture giant sushi rolls for purposes far beyond eating. The contrast between fresh, handcrafted sushi and its mass production in an industrial setting creates a subtle discomfort—challenging perceptions of authenticity, labor, and consumption. Inside the factory, aunties are seen socializing in the canteen, unwinding in oversized ramen bowls, participating in group yoga sessions, and even commuting across conveyor belts on sushi rolls. This world presents an exaggerated yet recognizable take on work culture, automation, and the blending of leisure and labor.

This artwork was created using AI tools such as DALL·E, Magnific, and Photoshop, combining generative AI techniques with traditional digital editing to craft a detailed and immersive visual narrative.

Set within the Auntieverse, Aunties’ Factory is one of many speculative environments where aunties operate within their own logic, navigating absurd economies, shifting trends, and reimagined workspaces. It is part of a larger, evolving universe created by Niceaunties, an artist who uses AI and digital media to explore themes of aging, beauty, consumerism, and cultural narratives.

Auntieverse is a parallel world where aunties exist beyond societal expectations, moving through speculative economies, shifting trends, and reimagined environments. Niceaunties examines everyday life and reinterprets familiar archetypes through digital visuals, videos, and physical installations.
