I create art to open new ways of seeing - translating nature’s patterns into sculptural signals that spark reflection and shared meaning.

My favorite art to create is sculpture - especially large scale, three-dimensional works that explore infinity, transformation, and the human experience. I’m drawn to forms inspired by nature, geometry, and continuity, such as looping or Möbius-like structures. Sculpture allows me to unite material, space, and light, inviting viewers into a shared, physical experience that unfolds through movement and perception.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in the inherent order of nature - its rhythms, patterns, and cycles, and in the idea of Infinity as a continuous, unfolding process. Geometry, mathematics, and natural forces guide my thinking, as does the way light and space shape perception. I’m inspired by moments where structure meets intuition, and where continuity suggests connections beyond what is immediately visible.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to back the realization of a 3D sculptural project linking Earth and the Moon through mirrored forms that speak to continuity, distance, and human imagination. The work would explore material, scale, and symbolism across locations - grounded here, echoed beyond. As the project evolves, it could extend toward an even more ambitious goal: becoming one of the first artistic artifacts envisioned for Mars in the near future.
