A mirror does not merely reflect, it unveils. Within its surface shimmers a gateway to countless dimensions, where light and shadow converge in endless possibility. In these reflections, I invite the viewer to wander beyond the visible and encounter the boundless layers of their own infinity. I’ve always wanted to be an artist. But I quickly realized I couldn’t paint like Rembrandt, and So that dream faded, and I went into my next passion, music.
A Decade in Music
At 18, I was a roadie for System of a Down, and from 2008 to 2018, I managed and tour managed rock and metal bands. I loved watching music being made, standing in the room while something was created from nothing, and I will always have a deep connection to music. But somewhere in that decade, I understood that my true passion was still art. I had just never found my medium.
The 150-Year-Old Mirror
The medium found me. I took on the restoration of a 150-year-old mirror painting, and to restore it, I had to learn to paint in backwards layers, reversing every instinct a painter has. That project changed everything. I fell in love with mirrors as a medium, first painting them, then sculpting them, then adding light to create mathematical patterns inside them. Because that was my other lifelong love, the language of mathematics. Sacred geometry,
spatial mathematics, and above all, hyperdimensional spatial geometry, the study of dimensions beyond the three we live in. I realized I could finally make art, not by competing with the painters, but by creating something that hadn’t been done yet, using mirrors and math to represent objects from higher dimensions in our 3D world.
Dream visions and medicine journeys deepened the work, showing me geometry as something alive, recursive light with depth that had no business existing. In 2018, the answer arrived in a dream: a cube within a cube, every surface mirrored, light folding into itself without end. I woke up and built it.
The Tesseract
That dream became the Tesseract, an infinity mirror sculpture built from architectural grade tempered mirrored panels and programmable LEDs, representing a 4th dimensional hypercube existing in our 3D world. It became my most popular design. I built the biggest one I could with my limited budget and space in my van for Burning Man 2023. It has since going viral with over 100 million views, coverage in Nerdist Magazine and on seven TV shows and news channels, and a personal request from Subtronics for Cyclops Cove. In 2019 I started bringing my work to festivals, beginning with Burning Man. Since then my installations have stood at Art Basel Miami, Paris Hilton’s private residence, and the Jeff Bezos MARS Conference, where the Hyper Tesseract, 34 precisely arranged mirrors representing 5th dimensional space, made its world debut. Together the two pieces
represent 4th and 5th dimensional objects existing in our 3D world.
Where the Work Is Going
I keep experimenting with spatial geometry as inspiration for new designs, and technology keeps opening new doors. Every large installation now includes an interactive AR experience: a live 360 degree camera inside the sculpture streams to a Meta Quest headset, so viewers can virtually step inside the art itself. First the mirror shows you a space you cannot enter. Then you enter it. I offer this at festivals and private events alongside the
installations. Please see my show calendar for my current and past exhibitions. I couldn’t paint like Rembrandt. It turned out I was never supposed to. The canvas was
always going to be a mirror. See the Tesseract in motion: watch the demo reel
