Behind the Series: Origin of Form

Series I emerges from the quantum geometries that shape reality at its most fundamental level. Each piece draws inspiration from the hydrogen wave function—visualizations of probability densities that map where an electron might be.

The pieces reflect this quantum mirroring, as living echoes; fractal translations that bring invisible structures into visible presence. Each image is a portal, shaped through symmetry and recursion, inviting the viewer to feel the order beneath the chaos, coherence within complexity, the form within field.

A visual harmonic of origin.

Sea Anemone: Living System and Sensorium

Sea Anemones are extraordinary creatures—both delicate yet powerful—embodying a living metaphor for relational intelligence and the dynamics of energetic presence.

Anemones are fixed in place, yet they respond dynamically to their surroundings. Closing up when touched, expanding in calm waters, and adjusting to stimuli with astonishing sensitivity.

With regenerative capabilities, they can heal from injury and sometimes even regenerate entire parts, echoing themes of resilience and renewal.

Though they lack a centralized nervous system, they respond via a network of nerve cells—an early form of nonlinear, field-based sensing that allows them to feel the environment and respond with distributed intelligence.

Symbiotic Relationship

The relationship between sea anemone and clownfish is a remarkable example of symbiotic intelligence—mutualism shaped through sensitivity and adaptation.

The sea anemone offers the clownfish shelter within its stinging tentacles, which deter predators but leave the clownfish unharmed due to a specialized mucous coating. Clownfish develop immunity to anemone stings through gradual exposure and adaptation. In return, the clownfish protects the anemone from threats, cleans its surface, and brings nutrients and oxygen through movement.

This co-regulation forms a symbiotic dance, where difference becomes complement, and mutual thriving emerges through attuned reciprocity.

Mirrored Systems: Quantum and Living

This series draws from two interwoven systems: the mirrored geometries of hydrogen wave functions and the relational dance of sea anemone and clownfish.

Hydrogen patterns reveal presence as probability, symmetry that is shaped by potential. The anemone offers a sheltering field; the clownfish learns, through contact, how to belong within it.

Both reflect the same truth: coherence is relational, formed through trust, resonance, and responsive structure. Each piece becomes a portal into that shared intelligence.

Series II: Mechanics of Creation

Where Origin of Form reveals the first movement—the emergence—Series II continues the arc, entering the mechanics of creation itself. These works hold the architectures of becoming: not just what is formed, but how formation is chosen.

Through connection to origin, the loop unravels. We are no longer automated within meaning structures repeating themselves—we are the makers, the ones who place experience by positioning awareness.

To know origin is to claim the power to shape. To position is to encode direction.

Each piece in this series acts as a mechanism, a key, a field-map. Together, they trace a geometry of consciousness capable of altering the mirror of reality.

Process: From Dark to Light, Sensation to Structure 

Series II began with sumi ink on paper—a meditative practice historically used by Buddhist monks to cultivate presence through motion. Each brushstroke became a mirror of internal state, mapping awareness in real time. The ink, made from burned pine soot and resin, offered a deep black surface that reflected light in subtle, unexpected ways.

The process of photographing these sumi paintings revealed light reflecting off the surface in these unexpected ways. The deep black of the ink—rich and matte—contrasted with areas where light caught the texture of the paper, creating natural highlights and dimensionality. These reflections became the foundation for the next phase.

Through a process of mirroring and layering, the original forms evolved into intricate geometries. Through this repetition, new symmetrical structures emerged, drawing out hidden geometries and expanding the original gesture into complex visual systems. Color was added using gradients and transparency, creating the effect of refracted light and skin-like surfaces, oil and water.

Final layers were painted with white and subtle gradients—depicting flows of energy, movement of light through the form. The original sumi painting became the ground for these light structures to emerge.

Each piece emerged through feeling-led steps, with no fixed outcome—only a continuous unfolding from presence. The series maps a transition: from void into form, from darkness into light.

This series offers more than imagery—it reveals a technology of becoming. Through motion, mirroring, and light, these works invite active participation in the field of creation. What begins in silence moves into structure. Each piece is both complete and still unfolding—a portal that continues to reveal itself through presence.
