projects
The following are a selection of art, architecture, and research projects from 2013 that I can publicly disclose.
MILAGRO | PAYAPA, TIMES SQUARE NEW YORK
Two dreamlike digital landscapes merge across 90+ screens of Times Square. Within the intricate hybrid world of MILAGRO lives an interconnected ecosystem and idyllic reverie of lush biodiversity, pockets of flowering plants, wild creatures, and towering skyscrapers.
Created with forms echoing an archipelago, PAYAPA is a lush village of wooden kubos, hosting prodigious arowana fish, native inhabitants and springs enclosed in a mosaic of planetary corals.
AETHERIUS, 1st dibs
AETHERIUS is a realm in the sky shaped by faceted terrain and kaleidoscopic vegetation. In partnership with 1stDibs.
Terram, ontario science centre
‘TERRAM’ is an art experience that invites you to an Earth-like planet overflowing with life. The exhibition delves into the themes of science and technology, climate crises, and the conservation of nature. It reflects on our kinship with nature and abundance when life is left to run wild.
PAYAPA
PAYAPA meaning ‘Peaceful’. A special piece inspired by my heritage and designed for an immersive 13 ft. tall by 60 ft. wide 3D LED Screen. PAYAPA was exclusively designed and showcased at ‘Influences’, a Physical Exhibition in New York City.
CAELESTIA
Welcome to CAELESTIA, an aquaplanet where gems and air uplift you to serenity. The piece was created and exclusively showcased at ‘Influences’, a Physical Exhibition in New York City on immersive 13 ft. tall by 60 ft. wide 3D LED Screen and Virtually in the Metaverse through The Mynt.
Illumination
A piece inspired by the relations of books, manuscripts and objects that connect peoples, communities, and cultures.
Terranauts Journey
A world of ever-growing flora and fauna, infinite rainbows and life giving water. Be part of our #terranautsjourney.
REMINISCE
Exploring the boundaries of ornament and culture from my South East Asian and Middle Eastern heritage. Using digital tools to reimagine our past, it uses colours and patterns from these heritages to embody and preserve the beauty of ornament.
The Dreamer’s Nest
A nest that hosts both the young and old and hopes to nurture one’s spirit, imagination and creativity.
Cathedral
Designing ornament as structure through manual and algorithmic subtraction of spheres and cones to generate a cathedral of unique sacred spaces.
Origins
Developed in two phases, Ornamental Structure focuses on the process of algorithmic generation of the ornament and the methods of designing a religious sacred space - a Cathedral - through one singular method, Subtraction.
