Even Paradoxes Have Forms

​

“The infinite regress of recursion” describes a system folding back into itself, generating layers that repeat at diminishing scales. The work employs a multi-screen architecture to test the Droste effect as a spatial and perceptual construct. Instead of appearing on a single image plane, recursion is distributed across a high-resolution display wall, creating a recursive environment rather than a closed loop. This translation from image to construct demonstrates how feedback, scale, and segmentation alter the perception of infinite regression. The study reveals recursion as both a technical method and a perceptual experiment—at once fragile in its imperfections and enduring in its capacity to regenerate.

Materializing the Invisible: Signal, Ruin, and the Cosmology of Media

​

In the age of networks, communication appears seamless, immaterial. Yet beneath the surface lies a fragile infrastructure of wires, optics, satellites, and code. This installation interrupts that invisibility. Radios, stones, tangled cords, and a laser-to-solar-panel circuit exposes the translation of sound into light and back again through a tactile, precarious process.

Seeing ----0----Sound

​

This research introduces a method of visualizing sound waves in air using high-speed schlieren imaging—a technology that captures subtle changes in air density caused by acoustic vibrations.

Sound & Cymatics: Perceptual & Architectural Integration

​

This project operates within the delicate balance of perception, motion, and unseen forces, creating a space where sound, gravity, and liquid dynamics interact in real-time. The integration of a radio antenna as a structural and conceptual element ties the work to a broader dialogue about signal, transmission, and cosmic reception, merging with its environment, it amplifies existing signals, revealing the hidden rhythms of space.

Signal Forms: Bending Light, Sound, and Space

​​

​This project weaves sound, gravity, and liquid dynamics with light projections and electrical voltages, mapping signals through soft materials. It amplifies unseen forces, revealing how energy bends, transfers, and unfolds in space.

Emergence

​​

Emergence produces an immersive and imaginative environment through audio and motion-reactive geometric forms. This study connects the form of water and visual sound projections, creating an exhibition environment through the variation and volumetric manipulation of water-based technologies.
