Seattle only has 152 sunny days per year on average. When the sun comes out, so do all the Seattle residents desperately seeking some natural vitamin D.

Light Beings are enchanted spirit guardians shaped like humans that protect the cosmic energy on this planet. They pray to the Sun, sky, water, Moon and the Earth. Totems to the spirit world and a medicine wheel representing the elements of nature. Light Beings receive the wisdom of light by the Sun during the day. Translating their sacred messages through colorful refractions that are casted beneath their feet on the sand for humans to discover. They act as an earthly sundial; an ancient clock of where the sun and moon rises and sets. During the evening, as the sun sleeps, the moon reflects rainbow light beams into the Light Beings. Light Beings are lit externally during the day and lit internally during the night. After charging all day in the sun, they emit colorful chakra light rays into the darkness of the night, creating new light formations out into the world. The Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine continue to come together everyday for eternity in prayer to honor the relationship between Solar and Lunar cycles. Thank you to the 3D design team at Prefixa for creating the videos, the Transient Labs team created the code for the dynamic artwork, Quantum Art team for building the smart contract, and Julia “Oracle” Sinelnikova in collaboration with Refuge Arts for fabricating the physical sculptures. Thank you to Venus Over Manhattan, Gabba Gallery, and SaveArtSpace for supporting me on my first public art project exhibited during Art Basel 2022 at Satellite Art Fair.

Ellen von Unwerth’s thirty-year storied career defined the aesthetic of the 90’s and 2000’s and has made her a staple of fashion photography. Crafting cinematic scenarios for her shoots, Von Unwerth’s flashy, kinky, and humorous photographs invite viewers to come along on a boisterous escapade. By furnishing each of her subjects with a new persona to inhabit, she allows their inhibitions to melt away. The story telling aspect in her creative process has allowed her to create images that are never static and begs the question, “what is really going on here?” The inherent sexuality in her images is never without fun, and the subjects within her works are always powerful - positioned in control of their sex appeal.

This series is composed of moments of visual and inner transformation, where photography transformed chaos into a synchronized dance of the natural elements. The stage where this series unfolds is Nature in its endless shapes, settings and colors, and long exposure is the common technique and thread that unites all these moments, allowing every single image to embody a sense of flow, mystique, minimalism and cohesiveness. Through long exposure photography, I seek a deeper essence of the sum of realities that compose a landscape in motion, embracing the chaos, reducing its noise and transforming it into a moment of serenity, contemplation, direction, purpose, emotion. Being both an artist and a psychiatrist, this is also the kind of process I try to achieve with my patients, striving to transform their inner noise into a more cohesive and pleasant sense of flow, turning life into a mystery that is more fascinating than frightening.

The World After Us: Imaging techno-aesthetic futures is a photographic & video collection of temporary sculptures that combine plant life with electronic waste, and scientific experimentation with artistic exploration. They take the forms of: dead devices reclaimed by plant life; fossilized and reconfigured phones & laptops; and reimagined & re-formed digital tools. Taken together, the series asks: What will digital media be and do, after us? - What will my laptop, phone, or tablet look like in a million years? - How will our devices weather or grow over time? - What else might our techno-waste be? - Where might electronics lead our environmental and economic politics? - Can we plan and act toward new and different futures? The World After Us asks us to rethink and transform conversations, thoughts, and actions around media production, use, and waste. At stake are the relationships between humans and the natural world on the one hand, politics and commerce on the other.

This collection is an ode to one of the influential people in my life, my late grandmother Ezinne Anthonia Loloeke Ihechu. It also pays homage to the women who are the figureheads of their families, the mothers, the warriors, and the queens. THE MATRIARCH. Each piece embodies the different attributes of the Matriarch. The mother nurtures and guides her children. The warrior who is ready, to protect and fight for what she loves, and the Queen who is the beacon and role model for all to follow. The Matriarch is presented in her regal beauty and affluence reminiscent of my grandmother. The elements depicted take inspiration from African and south-east Asian cultures I am deeply fascinated with. With this collection, I want people to celebrate the women in their lives and never take for granted the contributions they have made to get them where they are.

Landscape Interrupted is the logical continuation of artistic duo Synchrodogs' exploration of the relationship between humans and nature. Reflecting on the effects of human intervention in environmental processes, and how differently the earth looks as a result, a number of questions arise: Will some places soon be erased from the planet, only to live in our collective memory? Will villages become cities? Will wilderness areas be co-opted by civilization? How different will the landscapes we see today be 10 years from now? Landscape Interrupted layers different degrees of distortion on top of the solid base that can not be erased, only altered. Just as childhood memories of places deform over time, landscapes change too, taking on a new identity.

Stay in the loop.
