Embracing the Soul

The universe is the contraction and release of energy.

I am neon pink and turquoise blue, a room wrapped in glossy fabric, a shimmering wetland.

In the depths of the wetland, there is a computer that never stops. It filters out cold or saccharine dreams with geometries, shaders, and rendering engines.

The material of dreams can glow on its own—fluorescent enzymes beneath the water, or distant stars.

My work focuses on the micro and macro, the contrast between inside and outside, the rhythm of breathing and the cycle of day and night, the zooming in and out of the lens.

In ancient times, we danced around firelight and totems, chasing an intensity. This is the primal energy I seek to convey.
