“I Accidentally Dropped My Hands in Some Gravitational Waves”
(Astronaut, Music, and Love)- Oct 2021
The astronaut in the painting cannot hear music of the universe but can feel the waves of gravity from the collision of two neutron stars. Part of the Astronaut is glad to witness such a brilliant display of energy. Part of the Astronaut also feels forlorn as they will never experience it in the same way as they are not a neutron star.
On 13th Feb 2024, this painting was turned into a mural by Darcelle in Palmerston North, in close proximity to the other murals.
“An Ecosystem”
(Jungle, Together, and Filter)- April 2022
Studying Astrophysics taught me how to filter out the things we can see to be able to grasp the nature of reality using the principles of physics. In this painting, I have in part filtered out what we can see as people to represent a formation of a “Jungle Egg”; a primordial state of an ecosystem. Falling into the egg, we have 8 animals travelling and about to co-exist together.
From the top going Clockwise: a Coral Snake, a Sabethes mosquito proboscis, the Anisoscelis alipes, Jaguar, Chameleon, Poison Dart Frog, Spangled contiga, and a Toucan beak.
“Inside the Ring”
(Wilderness, Silence, and Alone)- Mar 2021
One may feel quite alone inside the wilderness of the ring of Saturn.
I gave myself a very short deadline to do this; completed this painting in 1hr and 10min. Fastest turnover from the time I was given the three words, to be able to conceptualize a story to fit all three words, and to finish the painting.
“Strands of Each Lifetime”
(Static, Rebirth, and Reflections)- Feb 2021
The Eye
Each strand of this eye represents a single lifetime lived. It is a vast collections of such eyes which would make up the galaxy splatter on the reverse side of this painting (next image).
Paisley
This is the reverse side of the eye painting.

It all starts from the beginning of everything. Different spokes of Space and Time.
