Anti-gravity sculpture

Blending science and art, everyday materials can be transformed into mesmerizing sculptures that float, balance, and mirror cosmic proportions. From bronze spheres that stand upright on a single point to magnetically levitated stone moons, these works reimagine gravity and movement. One installation, featuring 109 interconnected spheres, reflects the Sun's scale compared to Earth. The vision even extends to a 35-meter flying airship covered in 60 million LEDs, designed to display high-resolution images and interact with crowds.
