Form, then function

While solving a brief and addressing specific problems can be exciting, most creations you’ll see here emerged differently. They begin as shapes imagined freely, without any predetermined destination or purpose. Through this intuitive exploration, functionality gradually reveals itself organically. Reflecting nature's own spontaneous approach with successful shapes naturally persisting and adapting over time. Thus, design becomes a dialogue between creativity and discovery, where objects find their purpose through playful experimentation rather than deliberate intention.

Nature vs Nature

Replicating wilderness is challenging. Nature, sometimes extravagant, is never random—the wildest plants and animals always somehow always appear exactly right. Chaotic as it may seem at first glance, nature holds intrinsic logic, meaningful down to the atomic level. Every curve, texture, and pattern quietly serves a purpose. Humans pride themselves on inventing perfectly straight lines and precise curves. Yet, what are we if not nature ourselves?

Precision

The quiet dialogue between my aerospace roots and my artistic practice. The deliberate choice of materials and processes, attaching the greatest care to the most hidden parts of each creation—big or small.
