In January 2026, I was commissioned by artist Rabi Towing to engineer and build the primary visual centerpiece for his exhibition, We Buy Souls. The project demanded the fabrication of a massive, 9-foot-tall cross completely enveloped in custom LED screens. Bringing this ambitious installation to life involved navigating several complex technical hurdles. To achieve a seamless visual experience, I had to execute precise 3D mapping across the many intersecting surfaces of the cross, ensuring the video content wrapped flawlessly around the entire geometric structure. The hardware itself required meticulous electrical engineering to safely manage power distribution across such a large array of high-draw LED panels. Perhaps the most critical engineering challenge was thermal management. Because the design called for a completely sealed enclosure to maintain its sleek aesthetic, I had to develop a robust internal solution to dissipate the massive amount of heat generated by the screens. The final result was a highly durable, visually arresting installation that blended my background in technical fabrication with striking contemporary art.
