I create to make the invisible ,visible,translating thought, memory, and emotion into light, shadow, and form.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Immersive wire sculpture installations that interact with light and space. I use industrial materials to create ethereal, transparent forms—often human or organic—that shift depending on perspective. Viewers become part of the work as shadows and perception change, turning observation into experience.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m inspired by the tension between the physical and the intangible—memory, consciousness, and perception. Nature, mythology, and human vulnerability all feed my work. I’m especially drawn to transformation: how something rigid like wire can become fluid, alive, and emotional. Travel, conversations, and collective experiences often spark new ideas.
What would you do with $25,000?I would create a large-scale participatory wire installation that uses a large language model to generate a continuous dialogue between the artwork and viewers, exploring human consciousness in real time.
