My work is dedicated to the sacred  geometric nature of existence. It is my belief that through geometry we can gain a greater awareness of the true meaning of life. From the microcosm to the macrocosm, there are mathematical relationships that underlie the fundamental structure of our universe. The purpose of this work is to illuminate these mysteries.

The mandala is a central motif of unity and interconnection, representing the inseparable nature of reality.

Fabric of reality

The Flower of Life is often viewed as a symbol of the creation and the fundamental forms of space and time. It is believed to depict the fundamental patterns and structures of life itself. In sacred geometry, it is seen as a visual expression of the connections life weaves through all sentient beings, believed to contain a type of Akashic Record of basic information of all living things.

Ad Infinitum

The Kikko pattern is inspired by the hexagonal shape of tortoise shells, an auspicious animal, symbolizing longevity. In the past, the samurai's armor could be composed of many hexagonal facets sewn together, similar to this geometric pattern.

‘’In the Huayan school of Chinese Buddhism, which follows the Buddhāvataṃsaka Sūtra, the image of "Indra's net" is used to describe the interconnectedness or "perfect interfusion" (yuánróng, 圓融) of all phenomena in the universe.’’

“[P]sychedelic experience is only a glimpse of genuine mystical insight, but a glimpse which can be matured and deepened by the various ways of meditation in which drugs are no longer necessary or useful. When you get the message, hang up the phone. For psychedelic drugs are simply instruments, like microscopes, telescopes, and telephones. The biologist does not sit with eye permanently glued to the microscope; he goes away and works on what he has seen.”

Representation of the Universe: Metatron’s Cube is thought to represent the pattern of creation and the framework of the cosmos. Its intricate structure symbolizes the underlying geometric patterns found throughout the universe. The Star Tetrahedron or "Merkaba" Translates to light body or ascension vehicle.

The Eyes of Buddha are painted onto the upper portions of many Tibetan-style stupas, mostly throughout Nepal . The symbol is painted on all four sides of the cube at the top of the stupa to symbolize the Buddha's wisdom seeing all things in all four cardinal directions.Two of the most well-known examples are the historic stupas at Swayambhunath and Boudhanath, which both comprise two of the seven Kathmandu Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site monuments located in Kathmandu in Nepal
