Artist Statement

As an artist, I engage with geometry, light, and materiality to challenge the boundaries between the tangible and the speculative.

My practice creates a space where computational and physical forms converge, encouraging inquiry into the the unseen forces that shape existence. Through generative processes, I explore how technological vectors like geometric deep learning, neural radiance, and augmented reality can deepen our understanding and cognition, uncovering phenomena beyond common reckoning. 

Light, both as a substance and as conceptual framework, is central to my work. It serves as a channel through which perception is refracted, bent, and shifted. As it moves across surfaces, light reveals hidden structures, inviting viewers to engage with the intricacies of space, time, and form.

I believe the artist’s role is to cast the mind outward, embracing infra- and supranormal thought that stretches our awareness beyond conventional paradigms. Accordingly, by probing the intersections of physical and conceptual space, my work reshapes how we perceive and interact with the world.

That said, my chief conclusion so far regarding human consciousness is thus:

Please Enjoy.
