Stooki Sound Afterparty // Projection Mapping

Stooki Sound Afterparty // Projection Mapping

Projector, MadMapper, VDMX5 [2015]

For the Official Stooki Sound Afterparty in Boulder, CO, I took the unconventional venue of a kitchen on The Hill and transformed it into an immersive environment for Toybox and Tesfa’s performances.

The space was custom-mapped with projections that interacted seamlessly with the surroundings, turning the kitchen into a dynamic, visual landscape. I added retrofitted props to deepen the visual experience, giving the projections a multi-dimensional quality. This innovative approach created a unique atmosphere, enhancing the performance while blurring the lines between physical space and digital art.

Artist Statement
Нет войне: No to War

"Нет войне" is an environmental art project created by continuously walking back and forth for several hours until the grass lay flat. Each letter measures roughly 12’ x 6’. The letters have been slightly exaggerated in Adobe Lightroom for digital clarity. The phrase "Нет войне" translates to "No to War."

The piece aims to give a voice to the citizens around the world standing up against tyranny and destruction. Nature always overruns land art with time. It overruns the rubbles of a war-torn country. It will overrun civilization long after we are gone. This earthwork may only be visible for a couple of weeks; the signs may only be held up for a couple of seconds; the remnants of a devastating war may only be visible for a couple of decades. But one thing remains true: human lives will never be restored. Facts should never be forgotten. Invasions should never be tolerated. Freedom will prevail.

The artwork reflects on the impermanence of human constructs, whether they are artistic expressions or the scars left by warfare. It serves as a testament to the strength and determination of those who oppose oppression and violence.

Through this work, I aim to not only capture a moment of protest but also invite viewers to reflect on the broader implications of war and peace. The piece is a call to action, urging us to remember the human cost of war and to strive for a world where freedom and peace prevail.

Follow-up images regarding the status of the land will be provided over time. Hopefully, the war will be over before the piece fades away.

Tree branches. 4' x 4 [2016]

Introduction
Sanctuary offers a layered view of resilience, juxtaposing the green expanses of the Sanctuary Golf Course with the majesty of Pikes Peak and the scars of past destruction. Framed by the lens, this work explores the tension between human intervention and nature’s cycles of renewal.

Site & Placement
Perched at Daniels Park in Castle Pines, the lens focuses on the rolling terrain of the golf course, leading the eye to the distant peak. The surrounding brush, which once burned in a major fire, adds depth to the narrative of renewal. A bench, positioned for an unobstructed view, invites visitors to sit and reflect on the land’s capacity to heal and endure.

Impermanence & Integration
As an ephemeral installation, Sanctuary embodies nature’s cycles of destruction and rebirth. The materials—branches and rock—will eventually decay and return to the earth, a process that mirrors the recovery of the landscape itself after fire. This impermanence underscores the delicate balance between human influence and natural forces.

Reflection
Sanctuary serves as a reminder of both the fragility and resilience of the world around us. It invites viewers to pause and consider the interplay of destruction and growth, human and natural, as they gaze upon a scene shaped by both time and transformation.

Shanghai Barbeerians // Summer Jersey

The Shanghai Barbeerians, an amateur softball team based in Shanghai, China, sought a refreshed summer jersey design. I took inspiration from their existing color palette and crafted a gradient-based design that incorporated the necessary elements to create a unique and modern look for the team.

Olive Academy // Website

Olive Academy is an English training center in Shanghai, China. I saved as the Art Director since its inception in early 2020. I contributed to the company by building the website, assisting with marketing efforts, standardizing course materials, and providing input on design choices and brand identity.

Olive Academy's brand personality is rooted in an organic escape from the city, characterized by natural colors and a lush, plant-filled environment within the center. This aesthetic was reflected in the website's theme, color palette, and font choices. The main pages of the website were designed to convey a more professional tone, targeting parental guardians, while the student center took on a more playful and approachable feel.
