Una Corda

Una Corda is an acoustic piano built without a furniture case. The open design allows the sound to travel freely to the listener. The instrument has one string per note, a stainless steel frame and a double-layer soundboard. The stainless steel frame keeps the piano light, unlike the cast iron frames used in traditional pianos. The resulting tone is soft and clear. Una Corda is played like a traditional piano, and the visible mechanical parts show how each note is produced. The piano is hand-crafted and no chemicals are used.

Outsiders

It is a lighting show that was staged at three different locations in Oakville (ON, Canada). The performance is fiction on the theme of Energy. In the story, the Outsiders came to Earth not as invaders but as highly intelligent creatures with a lot of knowledge to share with humans. The main point of the project: the energy is actually found inside of us. It is the foundation of human livelihood and maybe a key to solving the energy problem on Earth. To visualize the idea, the artist has designed lighting costumes using LED modules and zip-ties.

Space Paradox

Space Paradox is a conceptual video about the nature and limits of space. The film uses three world forms as its background: the spatial world of entities, the multidimensional world of fractals, and the world of logic and human consciousness. The transformation and overlap of the three forms present a dialectic between entity and vacuum, space and consciousness. The starting point is the question of the edge of space raised by Archytas, together with theories of potential and real infinity. Space Paradox also includes a creative expression of space graphics.

134340 Music Video

134340 is an animated music video created as a fan made project for a Korean pop song of the same name. The song title refers to the asteroid number of the dwarf planet Pluto. In response to the lyrics, the video shows Pluto as a white ball moving through multiple dimensions in space, surrounded by colourful three dimensional shapes that follow the rhythm of the music. Simple geometric forms and keyframe animation at 30 frames per second are used. The flat cel shading art style was produced entirely in the software Cinema 4D.

Gem of the World

Gem of the World is a carnival costume inspired by the Cayman Islands. The white color recalls the powder white sand and the clear water of the three islands. The wing shape refers to the millions of tourists who fly to the Caribbean each year. The costume is handmade from fabrics such as spandex and lace, with sequins and feathers as embellishments. The sculpted parts are framed with metal wire and bonded with a special technique. The costume was created on Seven Mile Beach, with a direct view of the ocean, to highlight the natural beauty and the marine environment of the islands.
