I specialize in "Industrial 3D Mixed Media," a process I call "The Alchemist’s Pulse." I bridge the gap between fine art and structural engineering by commanding discarded materials—industrial silicone, salvaged auto parts, and drywall putty—into immersive 3D landscapes. My favorite works integrate hidden LED circuitry and phosphorescent physics so the piece transforms in the dark, revealing a hidden spectrum of light and texture that isn't visible at first glance.

Inspiration comes from the "architecture of shadows" and the concept of resilience. As a Veteran Combat Engineer, I learned to see the world through a lens of reconstruction and structural potential. I find beauty in the grit of industrial materials and the way light interacts with rough, salvaged surfaces. I’m inspired by the idea that nothing is truly "discarded"—it’s just waiting for a new visual language. My work is a tribute to finding light in dark spaces.

I would use this prize to scale "The Alchemist’s Pulse" into massive public installations while creating a charitable employment pipeline. My goal is to hire and mentor disadvantaged individuals in the skilled trades, teaching them to build these complex 3D structures alongside me. By combining industrial engineering with artistic vision, we will prove that those the world overlooks—both people and materials—can be "redirected" to create something monumental for the public to witness.
