Vector Meditation is built around six primary artworks. Each one is repeated in different colours, sizes and materials, using vector technology in a surreal, pop art-influenced process. The same base image is transformed through different materials and methods, creating limited variations rather than identical copies.
The series explores how far vector-based image making can be pushed into physical, ecological and repurposed materials. Techniques and materials change from edition to edition, reflecting an ongoing search for more sustainable ways to produce the works, from laser-cut plywood and natural pigments to hand-painted and assembled surfaces.
The imagery combines surreal and visionary elements with a modular visual language, making visible things that don't fit easily into realistic imagery: instinct, imagination, and ways of experiencing reality outside the immediately familiar.
The visual language of Vector Meditation has also developed into site-specific installations, wall works, textiles and applied collaborations.
Core Pieces
6. Nautilustic Tentacoral
The meditative state between deep sea and outer space.
5. Infinity
A reflection doesn’t see itself; it never really knows what it looks like from the other side.
4. Forever isn’t Endless After All
The continuation of endless beginnings is an eternal loop of love and life.
3. Tripolarity
Our present reality entangles itself in three parts: what was, what is, and what will be, but mostly in between.
2. Originating
When the elephant in the room is oversharing, listen to it.
1. Eaglelity
Happy are those who have overcome their inner eagles (egos) and found balance within a distorted yin and yang.
Eggshibition
A group of smaller works derived from the larger Vector Meditation pieces.
The works continue the same modular visual language in a more condensed format, allowing variation, repetition and material translation to operate at a different scale.

Hands from two different dimensions, reaching for each other.
Built from the same modular visual system as the rest of the series, scaled up into a physical totem.
