My works examine the intersection of technology, humanity, and art by transforming scrap hard drive platters and motherboards into wall sculptures.

The pieces offer multiple layers – figures within figures and in relationship to each other, intricate fretwork and cut lines that require scrutiny, shadows that warp the original work, repetitive elements, and poses implying motion.

The sculptures are characterized by their highly reflective surfaces, enabling them to interact dynamically with their surroundings. The works literally transform as you walk by them, altering colors based on viewing angle, lighting, and atmosphere.

In many works the reflection serves as a second canvas, highlighting elements that are hidden in the actual sculpture.
