“This piece of jewelry is made of seven diamonds set against a unique flesh flower gland.”

“Focusing on the general theme of the project, I was trying to capture a sense of connection and data that flows through a system of interconnected splines around the main shape(9). Capturing an abstraction of the system that powers the process of decentralization. The floating colors also translate to energy that’s powering a never ending system of automation. Obviously, I also wanted to display one of my favorite personal styles and bring it together with this project as well.”

“A group of cyber-hackers, using their implanted interface systems, are linked into the decentralized Metaverse network, roaming its endless depths, in search of valuable data that could help them achieve the upper hand among their foes in the two-century-long cyber war.”

“This illustration represents the greatest value transfer there is, the one between the Sun and the Moon. With the Queen representing the everlasting transaction of giving and receiving.”

“Kings have a responsibility to fill, kings have to lead, kings don’t have time to be sad, so kings fall to greed.”
