<p class="prose" data-reveal>For more than two decades, Tatiana Ilina's work has focused on a fundamental problem: how do we preserve not only information, but the human context that gives information meaning?</p>

<div class="prose-group">
<p class="prose" data-reveal data-reveal-delay=".08">Tatiana’s documentary work has been exhibited and published internationally. In the United States, its value and national importance were recognized through the granting of a National Interest Waiver.</p>
<p class="prose" data-reveal data-reveal-delay=".12">At the foundation of this work is a 22-year longitudinal documentary archive — a large-scale record of people, environments, institutions, decisions, and social change observed across time.</p>
<p class="prose" data-reveal data-reveal-delay=".16">Today, Selection Lab is developing Soul Engine™ as human-grounded AI and institutional intelligence infrastructure designed to help organizations reconstruct how knowledge and decisions evolved, preserve their provenance and context, and use AI without losing the human reasoning behind the record.</p>

<h3>Tatiana Ilina</h3>
<p class="bio-role">Founder & Research Lead, Selection Lab</p>
<p class="bio-body">Tatiana Ilina is the founder of Selection Lab and the architect of Soul Engine™, a human-grounded approach to preserving context, institutional memory, provenance, chronology, and relationships in AI systems.</p>
<p class="bio-body">Her work grows out of more than two decades across documentary journalism, photography, film, education, and research, including a 22-year longitudinal Human Archive documenting people, institutions, cultures, vulnerability, identity, and social change.</p>
<p class="bio-body">That long-term work developed a methodology for identifying connections, contradictions, changes over time, and the human meaning that conventional data structures often miss.</p>
<p class="bio-body">Selection Lab translates that methodology into scalable AI infrastructure designed to help institutions work with complex knowledge without losing context, continuity, or meaning.</p>
