Projects

2022

"Fragmented Here" is my debut NFT collection that pays devotion to our lived world by building an imaginary, playful, multi-dimensional landscape we can thrive in. It is inspired by a myriad of experiences found in nature: clouds, mountains, valleys, plant life, water, and more. Consisting of 8 fragments, each relates to another so that they come together to create a whole.

2020

2018
