My art revolves around the intersection of science theory and technology, leading to the creation of immersive, interactive installations, sculptures, and videos that stir scientific curiosity, shift perceptions, and evoke a sense of wonder. Drawing inspiration from the vastness of nature and the cosmos, I seek to capture the ephemeral fragility of our existence. Through extensive travel and engaging in both scientific research and physical exploration, I embrace diverse technologies to deepen the immersive quality of my art. I aim to transport audiences to uncharted territories, offering them a chance to explore insights beyond their familiar confines.
