Mati
Embodying the depth of Sanskrit ideals like intelligence (Mati) and intuition, "Mati" stands as a digital sentinel of perception. Modeled to resemble a vast, all-seeing eye, this sculpture invites viewers into a realm of heightened mindfulness, urging them to embrace deeper realms of perception and understanding.
Helios
An ode to the cosmic dance, "Helios" is a luminous portrayal inspired by the increasing solar activity and the stunning imagery captured by the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Maui. Manifesting as a 2-meter tall spherical sculpture, this digital artwork serves as a radiant reminder of the universe's vastness and the dynamic interplay of celestial energies.
Antarctic Meltdown
Marrying art with stark environmental realities, "Antarctic Meltdown" is a potent symbol of Earth's fragility. Modeled as a half-globe with a melting iceberg, it vividly captures the alarming data: Antarctica's loss of 125 gigatons of ice annually between 2002 and 2016, and the global sea level rise that threatens coastal cities. Beyond its visual poignancy, it's a clarion call about our planet's precarious state, emphasizing the tangible outcomes of climate change.
in/definite • in/decisive
Capturing the zeitgeist of our times, "in/definite • in/decisive" embodies the pervasive sense of global uncertainty. While it appears as a rendering, it encapsulates a shared sentiment: a system in pause, an era of hesitations, and the collective ambivalence marking our global consciousness.
Goldilocks
Delving into the realm of decentralized systems, "Goldilocks" explores the intricate balance of collective entities. Drawing upon research that reveals the optimal conditions of such systems—where components are neither overly simplistic nor excessively capable—this speculative installation visually communicates the delicate harmony that defines nature, technology, and other interconnected networks.
