Collaborations with Chinese contemporary artist Jia Alai for Sotheby’s Digital Art Auction.
“The title of my piece is called “Current”. Current has double meaning, on one end its a nod to the times we’re living in and the rise of digital and digital artists. The title also comes from the key inspiration I drew from Jal’s original work, the lightning. I saw this as a unique element to focus on given all digital at its core is driven by electricity, I wanted to lean into this aspect and add a new pulse and sense of energy to the world Jal built years ago.”
