Multidisciplinary Artist & Multimedia Director
‘’I believe both science and art are attempts to understand the existence, consciousness, as well as everything
that is known or yet to be discovered, and my work focuses on creating a hybrid connection between these
phenomena to make sense of the universe in a way of my own.’’
