🌊 Underwater Sculpture (Performance of Understanding, September 27 - November 10, 2023) 🌊
At the end of every semester, we have a two-week Performance of Understanding—a chance to apply everything we've learned in a creative way. For my first PoU, I chose to work with Sustainable Development Goal 14: Life Below Water. My goal was to create something impactful—something that goes beyond aesthetics.
I tackled eutrophication, an issue harming our oceans, and responded with an underwater sculpture designed to promote marine life growth. Inspired by Barbara Hepworth and the organic forms around me, this sculpture became a symbol of blending creativity with purpose. The goal was to bring something to life that could not only thrive underwater but also support and restore marine ecosystems.
This project made me realize how powerful art can be when it intersects with the environment—how design can contribute, inspire, and even heal.
I've attached the full documentation. I’d love for you to take a look and share your thoughts on this journey.

"Landscape," of large format, inevitable due to the complexity of the work and the almost archetypal scene of the homo XI, reveals itself as a constellation of visual fragments that decompose and recompose our perception of the urban environment. The simple forms intermingle in a play that evokes cubism, capturing the essence of a chaotic urban landscape, delineated by luminous geometries acting as vanishing points and energy nuclei.
The primary forms and lines simplify towards the essential that underlies any disorder and dynamic structure, where the absence of concrete elements promotes personal exploration of the space, allowing the viewer to discover latent elements among the layers, akin to an archaeology of perception. In this sense, "Landscape" becomes a work that reveals, through its complexity and visual richness, the multiple dimensions that compose our urban experience, in a constant dialogue of artificial lights.

ALBEDO 0.30 (2019)
24-hour video loop for LED mosaic, 33 ft x 14 ft
This artwork is permanently installed in the entrance lobby of the F. Hoffmann-La Roche Home for IT (HIT255) in Kaiseraugst, Switzerland.
"Albedo" refers to the measure of light reflected by a surface, typically used in astronomy to describe the reflection from planets or moons. Earth's albedo is 0.30. In this work, themed around the cycles of life and the sun, albedo symbolizes the light of memory, illuminating a giant LED mosaic with everyday observations preserved from oblivion.
Traditionally, mosaics are made from materials like colored glass or stone to create static images. However, Albedo 0.30 utilizes LEDs—luminous dots that generate a continuous stream of moving images, evoking associations with chemistry and chromatography. In this context, light is the "compound" being separated, captured by the camera lens and transformed into electromagnetic information. This information is then made visible again through LEDs as a form of electronic color writing, a luminous excavation of memory.
The LED matrices do not form a compact video wall but instead leave gaps. Considering the ideal viewing distance and the 5mm pixel pitch of the LED display, most of the tiles are concentrated at the top, gradually thinning out in a random pattern toward the floor. Positioned in the spacious lobby, this mosaic offers varied viewing angles and distances, allowing viewers to experience the work in different ways—from the contiguous image at the top to the individual LED dots up close. The fragmented form of the mosaic resembles an archaeological find, though its origins are not in ancient ruins like those of nearby Augusta Raurica but in the present day.

3D recording attempt at Gulgurn Manja Rock shelter - 2013
During November 2013, post-bushfire assessment work was undertaken at several rock shelters containing rock art in Gariwerd (Victoria). The assessment team comprised Parks Victoria staff, various Traditional Owner representatives, rock art specialist Robert Gunn, and staff from the Heritage Programs at the Office of Aboriginal Affairs Victoria. The essential goals of this project were to evaluate the degree of damage caused by the bushfires that had affected the region in January 2013, and to assess and manage the risk related to vegetation fuel loads still present in areas immediately adjacent to each of the rock art locations. During the fieldwork, opportunities arose to test the potential of close-range photogrammetry for recording rock art. Photogrammetric series of photographs were taken amongst other areas, at Billimina and Gulgurn Manja rock shelters. This work had the full support of the different Traditional Owner representatives on-site, who demonstrated significant interest in and curiosity about photogrammetry and the results it could potentially yield. While the results from Billimina have already been published, few people had the opportunity to see this rushed attempt to record Gulgurn Manja. The 141 photos used for the production of the model were taken under lighting conditions far from ideal, but the resulting model is quite promising and shows what can be done with more time, patience and adequate lighting gear. Together with Scarred Trees, Rock Art is one of the types of Cultural Heritage Components more at risk in the case of Bushfires and at this day and age is almost criminal not to undertake adequate 3d recording of such significant Heritage.
