Slow down and discover something new

The same way humans use mobiles above a crib or rock a baby to sleep, watching repetitive movements unfold, time and time again, has the power to mesmerize people, forcing them to slow down and be calm, ultimately soothing and comforting them. I hope to create works of art that encourage people to relax and discover something new and playful in our fast-paced modern society.

I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should burn out
in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot.
I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom
of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet.
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.

— Jack London's *Credo*

Connection is a kinetic sculpture reflecting how the sun’s rays give us life on earth, beautiful rainbows, and now clean electric power. The bronze leaf sculpture depicts the Acacia tree that sustains wildlife in Africa.

Connection also allows the children at the SF Zoo to enjoy chasing and catching rainbows.
