I keep trying to build the moment right before something impossible becomes real.

This is the closest I’ve gotten so far 🌈

This is what happens when light becomes part of the experience.

🚀 This large-scale light sculpture installation transformed the space into something people could walk through, interact with, and feel.

Created for Yuri’s Night — a global celebration of space, exploration, and human curiosity. 🪐

Created for the Leidos Global Headquarters, this suspended sculpture transforms the atrium into a living kaleidoscope of light, geometry, and motion.

EVOLVE is built from dichroic panels that shift with every step, bending light and perspective in real time. The form translates Leidos’ core values — visionary, smart, approachable, authentic, pragmatic — into something you can see, move through, and feel.

Swipe for the full installation, immersive angles, and a look behind the build. 🔭

Coming Soon: Miami Moon Halo 💫 & do YOU like the curves??
📫Announcing it now, because I’ve been working on it for two years and funny story about ai art vs human - goes like this:
🤖 The year was 2023 & of the blue a wonderful dear Art curator with exceptional taste reached out to me about a Potential sculpture. At the time, I was really excited to be working with more organic almost feminine forms of myArt. (Not that art has a gender) anyway a dichromatic 360 Rainbow Mobius strip seemed like a beautiful moment.
So, I sketched a bunch of ideas, Laser Cut some things, and came up with a presentation. That was basically

”this is why you should choose human made art versus ai art”

& of course, I was also excited to use mid journey at the time and see what it could come up with so I could show how my work was better - and then a funny thing happened. 😅

After the presentation, it turned out that folks in the government and my new friend, didn’t quite love what I’d designed, but on page 3 of the pitch there was some art they liked.

The freaking ai render! That, could I make that?

No problem, I thought 💭 Let’s just take some impossible geometry that doesn’t actually exist on earth, send it through a 4th dimensional multi-valent lattice distortion-… & make it a safe sculpture for the public.

Easy 😝

…So now Im blowing up my 3D friends @looneystein & @cm_kay to help me reimagine an impossible idea as a tangible and structurally sound sculptural form…. and somehow we actually did it!! 😳 so now I’m taking my sketch ✍🏼 rendered impossible by ai - reconstructed for Earth 🌎 Geometry back into reality.

so two years and now, we finally have engineered this baby to survive a category 4 hurricane 🌀 and as soon as permits come through the pipeline - I’ll be on a ladder in Miami 🪜 doing my best to keep bringing Light, Love, Unitity & Community to this place we all call home. 🏡

Personally, I think it’s a damn sexy.
But, holy guacamole 🥑
C U R V E S -
they

hard!!

📝 All I can Say Is THANK GOD IT EVEN HAPPENED AT ALL
I’m crying as I’m writing this ….There is never the right time only this present moment, and so…  Little did I know that on October 30th 2019, while dancing 1000 feet above the clouds, I would encounter a soul that would rock my heart to the essence of existence.
We became penpals after that dance, her in Cambodia me in Chicago, we didn’t know it but we were writing one of the greatest love stories ever told. We broke the word message in instagram first, Facebook second, and moved to a google doc third. I just looked it up:
 119,147 Words  294 Pages the 33ed longest book in the world - just behind sense and sensibility by Jane Austen & ahead of the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twian by a hair.  
I thought it would go on forever.
And I think a part of it will.  I never believed in true L O V E before this  And so I would like to believe the the best essence of it all will always live with me & be a cherished memory of that time that I asked the universe for the desires of my heart, and she manifested into my life.
But just as in nature, the growth and death of plants in the spring and winter, the only constant is change. And so this season of spectacular love with my beloved has ended, so that a new season can begin anew.  She will always be my dream girl - the first one I gave my whole heart to and I’ll probably still smile, laugh and cry at the same time when I see photos,  Forever Jennisan - and once again - Thank God It Ever Even Happened at All <3  It’s been a little over a year since Jenni left, and outside of family and a few trusted friends I haven’t been able to talk about it. And I don’t really know what comes next. I went cold turkey sober for 10 months. I Went to Germany, than Bali for a month. I started growing a big celibacy beard for months - then realized I could just be celibate without an annoying beard.
And so I started waking up and bicycling to the ocean every morning.
