This is a thinking-space for my curiosity. It is a collection of essays, research, and artwork where I unpack the ideas that shape my perspective—from the mechanics of the human mind to the challenges of the digital age.
These entries are personal snapshots. They represent a search for understanding rather than a declaration of absolute truth. By integrating visual art with writing on science, psychology, and philosophy, this site documents an active engagement with the world. I encourage you to use these ideas not as final answers, but as starting points for your own inquiry.
Part 1: Why I Don't Like Looking at Art: Before Berlin
A pre-trip self-analysis exploring a paradox: what does it mean to be an art student who loves to create art, but feels a profound disconnect when looking at it? This is an attempt to build a framework for that experience before testing it in the galleries of Berlin.
Art and Aphantasia
How can a visual artist create without a mind's eye? This post is a deep dive into my experience with total aphantasia—the inability to form any mental imagery or other sensory experiences. I explore how this condition shapes an artistic process based not on visualization, but on intuition, discovery, and a constant dialogue with the physical work.
A Strange New Collaborator: My Thoughts on Using AI in Art
As AI becomes a more common tool, it raises complex questions about artistry, effort, and authorship. This post is a deep dive into my own process of working with AI, from the practical challenges of collaboration to the ethical lines an artist must navigate.
On Consciousness: Three Poems
A look at some recurring themes through a different medium. This post shares three poems I've made that, despite being created at different times, all seem to grapple with the same idea: the nature of consciousness, from the self in isolation to our place in the universe.
Spectre in the Machine
A look into my sculpture, "Spectre in the Machine." This post explores the process of using an AI-generated model and specific 3D printing materials to investigate the relationship between a digital "spectre" and the physical "machine" required to give it form.
What Happens When Things Go Wrong? A Look at 'Digital Entropy'
A look into my project, 'Digital Entropy'—an experiment in visualizing the loss of information from a digital idea to a physical object. It started with a single AI-generated figure that I 3D printed four times, allowing each attempt to fail in its own way. This is the story of those four broken pieces and what they reveal about the honesty of physical imperfection.
