Mai Ryde is the fierce mind and creative force behind Sorbet World, flipping the script on AI art by blending fashion, body positivity, and queer identity in ways that hit hard and feel real. Rooted deep in the rich textures of Black queer culture, Sorbet World serves up visuals that dont just look different , they challenge everything you thought beauty and self-expression could be. Every piece is a power move, mixing cutting-edge AI tech with hands-on creative craftsmanship, pushing boundaries across digital and design platforms to tell stories that are personal, collective, and unapologetically loud. This is celebration, resistance, and representation all rolled into one. Mai Ryde is US-based where they co-run the creative studio. Ours Studio.
