INTERSTELLAR

INTERSTELLAR

Material: Recycled Steel

Description: Look up! We are made of stars and on our tiny planet we are travelling among the stars trying to find order in the chaos around us so we can feel in control of an uncontrollable universe. Each sphere in the sculpture represents a universe, and as one looks up, they can see a small reflection of themselves as we are each reflected in the billions of stars in our universe. Walk around sculpture and see how the view changes. Traveling among the stars.

ALMOST CONTAINED

ALMOST CONTAINED

Material: Recycled Steel

Description: A sculpture that represents the desire to break free from a world that tries to contain us, but no matter how hard it tries to cage the human spirit, even a small opening is enough for our mind to break free. In a world that can feel harsh, sharp, and cold, our mind and imagination can be the gateway to escape from any prison that tries to keep us in. Is freedom a delusion?
