What was once a storage tank for toxic waste from a nearby industrial paper mill, Acid Ball is a public art installation proposal to transform a century-old industrial relic into a gathering place for reflection and rejuvenation. The star pattern from the night of the tank’s decommissioning is frozen onto the interior surface, juxtaposed against the current moving sky.

ANOHA—The Children’s World of the Jewish Museum Berlin is located within an existing former flower market hall. More than 150 animal sculptures created from found objects invite children to stretch their imagination and highlight the importance of respecting and treasuring global resources. The model represents an early concept for the museum’s entrance, with a playfully scaled welcoming bird.

Designed For the Museum of Museums’ Cat Tower exhibition, the design draws inspiration from the classic fable “The Princess and the Pea,” and reimagines the cat tower as a plush stack of pillows. Cozy crevices and tunnels inserted throughout the pillows respond to cats’ dual impulses for curious exploration and complete sloth. Collaborators include Danielle Dozbaba (@danielle.doz) on the custom pillows and CREO Exhibits (@creo_exhibits) on the internal metal structure.

ICE CUBE, a temporary installation designed for the Seattle Design Festival, showcases the stages of the natural water cycle as the ice shifts from opaque to translucent, and from solid to gas. The pure form of the 10-ton cube gradually eroded in the summer sun, marking the passage of time as its waters slowly returned to the sea. Melted indents where people touched the ice created fascinating patterns of interaction on its surfaces. Collaborators include Dovetail General Contractors and Niteo Lighting.

Soundscape explores the elementary technology of the tin can telephone. In a departure from the pandemic, when many were forced to rely on cellphones to stay in touch, this installation returns to analog acoustics and the opportunity for people to physically connect with each other. The design utilizes 1000s of donated tin can receivers to create an immersive experience that connects people with sound and communication. Collaborators include Dowbuilt.
