This is a Light Installation of 3 wood laser cut polygonal lantern pieces. Each face of the piece casts beautiful Islamic Geometric Designs. Surrounding the central lanterns, there are hundreds of paper gems made from mirror paper suspended from the ceiling.
The thought behind Dance of Enlightenment was that as humans, we gravitate towards light. Whether to seek comfort, to seek meaning, or to lose ourselves into something more than us.
This visual choreography of light and shadow is a representation of the fleeting dance we waltz in real life. Sometimes out of tune, sometimes tumbling down and sometimes getting a step right.
My aim is to look into the depth of shadows to engage with the wisdom that light holds within. The darkness is essential. It holds the key to balance, structure and harmony. Without one, the other can not exist.
My aim with this installation is to ignite wonder and inspire possibilities.

The Light Quilt installation is made of paper, thread and dichroic film. 10 feet of stitched squares in panels of 16, soothing and comforting, it unravels itself in the center, throwing shadows of colors and reflections of rainbows.
This installation was made for the yearly Art and Tech show held in downtown Sacramento that focuses on fusing art and technology through light, space and sound. The idea is to transform an empty space into what can be described as a “modern-day dreamscape” where attendees will find themselves immersed in a sensory experience.
Solo exhibition at the Union Gallery, Sacramento. The exhibition focused on stretching the vision of paper as a medium while focusing on themes of flora and spring.
