i created 02 (kin to 03) from the desire to make real the idea of “enlightenment”. when not illuminated by the core value system within the rigidity of it’s organized structure, it just exists; it follows the set rules of its society and lives alongside the community of neighboring like-objects. but something divine changes about its form when it is illuminated in its core… it’s given life; it no longer exists, it becomes.

02 is a metaphor for what happens to us when we are ignited by ideas, creativity, passion. if we do not aspire to be driven by the light within ourselves, we cannot illuminate the world around us; we cannot see new forms take shape; we only understand what we see as that which can only be visually sensed; we alienate ourselves from our true potentiality as humankind with the unique ability to make harmonious logic and creativity.
