ORIGINS
Origins is my newest series, delving into my perceptions and interests surrounding the multi-dimensional layers and textures of reality. The work intuitively explores my fascination with cosmology and particle physics, tracing the origins of form, matter, and meaning through visual language. While we live in a three-dimensional space, with time as the fourth dimension, contemporary physicists theorize the existence of multiple additional dimensions. These dimensions—whether five, six, seven, or more—suggest an intricate interconnectedness between all living things.
In Origins, this dimensional model reimagines the traditional paradigm of scientists as detached observers, positioning them instead as active participants and co-creators of physical reality. As a student of these evolving theories, I am inspired to create works that visually embody and reflect these transformative ideas.
Each artwork in the series becomes a symbolic representation of reality’s origins and structures. Whether hyper-realistic, illustrative, impressionistic, painterly, or photographic, each visual modality transcends conventional artistic depictions of our perceived world, inviting viewers to engage with the profound complexity of existence.
