Side Projects

2023
Mood lighting and art poster design

Inspired by minimalist artist Dan Flavin's use of neon lighting, this sleek lamp emits soft yet vibrant hues through slender colored tube set within a minimalist white cap and translucent base. Polarized fluorescent lights create dimension-defying interplays of color and shadow, adding a refined pop of contemporary style to modern interiors.

2015
Creating a large scale installation with 200 balloons

Large interactive installation and an audio–visual performance tool.
The installation comprises a suspended network of two hundred balloons. These balloons can be individually lit using RGB LEDs. The installation is able to sense movement and sounds created around it, while also offering tools for remote access via dedicated website and smartphone apps that allow to interact remotely with it. The piece unfolds as an abstract communication tool between those who are in place and those accessing it remotely.

2014
Creating sound reactive led sculpture

This immersive light installation consists of a dodecahedron with RGB LEDs that instantly respond to detected sounds and motion with kaleidoscopic array of colors. Online users can interact with it's luminosity via custom designed platform.
