This is a Studies. It is dated 2021. Its medium is paper, foam core, and pins; installed 2021, pace gallery, superblue, miami, florida, usa . It is a part of the department.

“When I read science historian James Gleick’s book Chaos, I was fascinated by the visual connection between the structures of trees and lungs. I thought it would be interesting if other people could experience these patterns physically and make the connection by walking through a sculpture. I drew the bronchial branches as a maze and made it in cardboard. The concept evolved into Forest of Us, a glimmering mirror maze installed in Miami.”
