Over the years his studio took on the form of a walk-in collage, ever-shifting and ever-growing, composed of columns and stalagmites of found objects.

A collaboration between artists, designers, and technologists, the living sculpture is a symbol of harmony and community.

The larger-than-life sculpture consists of two white hands posed delicately against the corner of a building. The hands appear to have risen from the waters, an ominous warning of the impending dangers of climate change. Strips of silver form a massive wave that blankets viewers underneath, letting light peek through to form a pattern of shadows.
