Amazon Headquarters

Bird Cage, 2023

This artwork, with a nest-like structure, represents the interconnectedness of technology and systems, celebrating shared physical spaces and memories. Viewed from afar, rhythmic patterns adorn the steel frame, while up close, hand-woven ropes display a color gradient across floors, symbolizing time's passage and evolving ideas. More than art, it honors the historic textile building, bridging past and present technologies.

The Forces Between, 2023

By transforming flat materials into dynamic, three-dimensional pieces, I challenge rigidity and invite viewers to engage from multiple perspectives, enhancing awareness of the crafted environment.
