Colorise Art Installation
Colorise is an art installation created for the fountain of a shopping centre. Twelve transparent plexiglass posts of varied heights and colours form a unified sculptural rhythm. The posts were made by bonding pre-cut plexiglass panels with acrylic cement to achieve clean edges without visible glue marks. Each post rests on a concrete base placed within the shallow water. Daylight and moving water pass through the coloured surfaces and create changing reflections. Visitors experience the shifting colours simply by walking around the fountain.

Outsiders Lighting Performance
It is a lighting show that was staged at three different locations in Oakville (ON, Canada). The performance is fiction on the theme of Energy. In the story, the Outsiders came to Earth not as invaders but as highly intelligent creatures with a lot of knowledge to share with humans. The main point of the project: the energy is actually found inside of us. It is the foundation of human livelihood and maybe a key to solving the energy problem on Earth. To visualize the idea, the artist has designed lighting costumes using LED modules and zip-ties.

Abstract Illustrations Branding Design Kit
The inspiration to create individual illustrations for the annual branded kit was the long-term search for a unique abstract style. Were created 10 different formal compositions with smooth lines in contract palettes. The main difference in the project is the creation of branded abstract illustrations for all promo products. All illustrations are hand-drawn in the gouache technique. Coloristic formal compositions in a minimalist linear style help products stand out from a number of other competitive examples.
