Bachelor of Fine Arts (Sculpture)

I am fascinated by the idea of light as a material; how it can be warped, reflected, and stretched into a spectrum of colours. I explore the unique ability of light to rekindle the awe, wonder, and curiosity of our inner child. Using colour, I create a space of play and imagination that speaks to the soul.

Rather than study the world around me, I venture into the celestial realm, exploring the spiritual, and the unknown. Inspired by astrophysics, my faith, and my Latin heritage, this work is an attempt to answer the question: what would our world look like in another dimension?
