Above the Dome
My collection is a philosophical exploration that fuses ecclesiastical aesthetics, designed to elevate the soul and draw individuals closer to the divine, with the complex technological abstraction of interstellar science fiction, crafting a distinctive visual and tactile narrative.
This endeavour stems from my ongoing contemplation of humanity’s origins and future, prompting abstract inquiries such as: Are we uncivilised entities or civilised non-entities? Could the Bible, in fact, be the flight log of a colossal and ancient spacecraft?
Employing environmentally conscious 3D modelling software, I reimagine religious and extraterrestrial symbols as wearable questions, encouraging viewers to reflect on their position within the science-theology, dystopian-utopian spectrum.
