FOLLOWING THE TIDE
Coffee-table Collection
This collection is inspired by the lagoons and cenotes in the state of Quintana Roo in Mexico: the movement of the tide and the change in topography reveal different materials shaping the intersection of earth and water. "Following the Tide" is an explosion erupted from the circular nucleus, dispersed into crushed Forest Green marble and aggregates of recuperated brass. It is composed in a pigmented resin on an oxidized bronze base.

Lighting Design
In the midst of the jungle of Quintana Roo in Mexico, a collaboration with Roth Architects for Azulik to design the lighting environment, layout and products for the museum, hotel, restaurant and bar. In complete harmony with nature, macrame waste, bejucco, ceramic, precious stones, resin, and recuperated glass are at the core of the lighting designs and are executed by local mayan craftsmen. Diverse and mystical, a similar feeling is experienced while strolling in the jungle.
