His advanced 3D printed installations provoke thought about the future.
Each piece in the "Augmented Limb" series creates a visually stunning yet slightly uncanny experience by combining soft silicone materials with rigid mechanical joints. These sculptures blend the flexibility of biological forms with the precision of machines, with joint arrangements evoking the appearance of vertebrates, twisted into unusual spirals. The contrast between hard and soft, individual joint angles, and the overall spiral line achieve a quiet, almost explosive balance. Viewers feel as if they are in the world of "Blade Runner," contemplating unknown realms. The details and textures of the works provide a strong visual impact and an intellectual adventure, sparking curiosity and imagination about future technologies.
