Countless hours of testing were required to develop the precise temperature and heat cycles necessary to properly bond the proprietary fiber optic materials.

Each piece undergoes a multi-step finishing process to achieve a mirror-like reflective surface.

Each piece requires approximately 40 hours to construct the foundational structure.

All hardware and lighting components are custom built for each piece.

Each artwork contains between 750 and 1500 individual fiber optic strands. Due to the precision required, a single failure during the final heat cycle results in the entire piece being discarded.
While LED light sources are used, the visual effect is entirely physical, created through the transmission of light across hundreds of fiber optic strands. Nothing is digitally rendered or simulated.
