Artist’s Statement: “The potential of balloons to form shapes and structures is often overlooked as a source for artistic creation. In my sculptures, I make use of this potential to express the beauty that I see in nature. From bioluminescence to consciousness, the natural world is full of the most incredible and mind-boggling phenomena. Each sculpture stems from the principles behind these phenomena and the enigmatic laws that govern them. But although these sculptures are inspired by entities in nature, they are not representations of them. Rather, they exist as they are, and take on a life of their own. They become beings in their own universe of light and balloons – balluminescence – and the space around them becomes a window into their world.”
