Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.
This contemporary sculpture features a striking juxtaposition of organic and industrial materials. The central element is a weathered, twisted metal structure resembling a pipe or vessel, contrasted by the delicate, web-like forms that emerge from it.

The vibrational effect of his work elicits physical and emotional frequencies that offer alternative methods for navigating the world. ...
