definitionThe Tension Series explores the intersection of human form and structural geometry, translating the principles of tensegrity into expressive sculptural compositions. Each work stages a dynamic equilibrium between cooperation and instability--figures interlocked within frameworks that both support and constrain them. Through mirrored, faceted surfaces and mathematically derived architectures, the series examines how balance, connection, and strain coexist in physical and social systems. These sculptures occupy the threshold between the mechanical and the organic, revealing tension itself as both a structural condition and a metaphor for human interdependence.

labelTensegrity Toroid
descriptionA tensegrity toroid composed of interconnected T3 prisms units. In particular, a discussion of the interconnections between the T3 units. In fact, interconnection structure is itself a T3 prism.

labelTension Series Collection
descriptionThe Tension series explores the paradox between structure and fragility through virtual sculptures modeled on tensegrity geometries. Each work fuses human figures in compression with networks of tensile connection, forming dynamic equilibria that hover between motion and collapse. Rendered as luminous 3D forms and experienced interactively in "model-viewer," the sculptures respond to shifting environments and light--each background panorama revealing new tonalities of reflection and balance. By situating these digital constructs in variable natural and urban contexts, the series transforms engineering into metaphor: human interdependence, emotional strain, and the delicate architectures that hold us together. In Tension, equilibrium is never static--it is lived, luminous, and perpetually on the edge of release.

labelNetwork-Art Aesthetic
descriptionA network-art aesthetic--figures as embodied compression struts, nodes as informational hubs, cables as the invisible flows between people.

labelTensegrity Prism Chirality Aesthetics
descriptionIn an aesthetic sense, do you see any difference between right-handedness vs left-handedness in chirality? I ask because in art history interpretations, paintings convey different emotions to the viewer depending on the left or right position of elements.
