Rise of the Soul · Token Detail
Rise of the Soul #223
Rise of the Soul is a visual pilgrimage through Dante’s Divine Comedy, reimagined as a hand‑painted animated world. The collection moves from the depths of Inferno to the cleansing slopes of Purgatorio and the vast luminous harmony of Paradiso. The style is lyrical and cinematic: soft brushstrokes, watercolor textures, floating embers and petals, atmospheric perspective, and a single small pilgrim or group of figures travelling through epic landscapes. Inferno pieces are the rarest — violent crimson caverns, rivers of fire, spirals of stone and storm — while Purgatorio scenes of mist, dawn and climbing stairways are uncommon. Paradiso is the most abundant: wide open heavens, golden clouds, concentric rings of light, and cities that seem to be built from music and air. No graphic horror, only symbolic fire and shadow; no literal theology debates, only the ascent of a soul toward light.

Spectra
Spectra is a study of matter revealed as light.
Each work is rendered as a long-exposure spectral field — a restrained, museum-grade image where compounds and materials appear as bands and lines held against deep charcoal. These are not diagrams. There are no axes, grids, labels, or legends. Only the quiet evidence of a signature.
Across the collection, four regimes are held in tension: hydrocarbons, nuclear fuels, clean-energy materials, and metal alloys. The politics is embedded in comparison, not slogans — warmth versus precision, diffusion versus containment, abundance versus legacy — expressed only through light.
Trace
Trace is a study of perception — a hybrid visual language where photographic fragments become architectural diagrams, and linework reveals the hidden structure inside the world.
Each artwork begins with real photographs: textures, objects, architectural details, or natural fragments. These images are arranged as intentional collages — quiet, asymmetric, evocative. Over them, precise linework unfolds: topographic contours, orthographic projections, and geometric extrapolations that reinterpret the photograph’s form.
Trace sits between blueprint and sketchbook, between fine-art print and architectural analysis. It is a dialogue between what is seen and what is understood.
Chairs
Chairs is a study in sculptural absurdity: a museum-grade exploration of chairs that push beyond functional design into expressive, impractical, and architecturally playful form.
Each work is a hyper‑photorealistic portrait of a chair behaving more like a sculpture: a seat that bends too far, loops into itself, contradicts its own engineering, or performs gestures no practical furniture would ever attempt.
The result is a collection where fine‑art photography meets conceptual design, blurring the boundary between object, artwork, and architectural experiment.
