Dots and Loops explores fantastical intersections of nature and technology. Offered through the lens of awe, these pieces explore how technology and nature might augment each other in an imagined reality. Floating orbs appear throughout, evidencing areas of successful integration. Within any city or area of flora, look for miniatures repeating like fractals. For some extra fun, explore the pieces with blacklight flashlights, leading to hidden details.
