From Sound Designer to 3D Art Pioneer

My artistic journey began in music, but a pivotal experience with tinnitus redirected my creative focus to the visual arts. This shift marked an evolution — a move toward deeper exploration of modularity, 3D printing, and storytelling.

I became increasingly interested in creating systems where form is open, where users engage directly, and where each piece becomes part of a greater whole.

Through this, I seek to dissolve the line between creator and participant—building dynamic works that blend human intuition with machine precision, and transform art into a shared, exploratory process.
