BECAUSE SCIENCE
ON DISPLAY AT
CIRCUIT BREAKER LABS
Because Science is a love letter to all things STEM, particularly the fusion of art and science. A lot of the products you’ll find here and in our shop are handmade in our very own design lab, while some are the brainchild of other creators. We celebrate it all because science literally makes the world go ‘round.
FROM THE ARTIST
I am a cloud of space dust. I am a collection of particles dealing with depression. I am weaving through waves of space-time and isolation. My work is the product of this existentialism, loneliness, and search for a connection to the sublime. I see cosmic phenomena as a reflection of humanity in its grounded experiences and heaven-ward musings. Through minimal and concise abstraction, my work highlights the fear and curiosity of the unknown, the pain and clarity of silence, and the delicate and fluctuating nature of states of being.
