ARTIST STATEMENT

My method involves a singular artisanship within the digital realm, optimized for mathematical perfection as well as maximum clarity. By utilizing a large lattice, I align countless rhombi to represent American culture, architecture, unique people and more. Each piece is built bit by bit, aiming for the intersection of pixel art and pointillism. I operate within the simplest software, with the most tedious approach, to produce works that both require human suffering and combat artificial intelligence.
