Computational Designer/
Project Manager
In collaboration with Erika Blumenfeld, an artist in residence at NASA, the project entailed creating a series of morphologies that are structured very similarly to real Galaxy formations in space to be etched within a crystal sphere. In addition, each morphology will be categorized and analyzed so a series of text narratives can fit within its geometry, sharing a specific story in connection with the starts or stargazing. Through coordination with Erika and GW Crystal, this project created 30 unique etched crystal sphere stories.
