TEAM COSMIC WARRIOR
The series Team Cosmic Warrior is an hommage to the physique pictorial photographers from the Beefcake era. Classical and iconic imagery are blended with metaphysical and spiritual symbolism, which radiate a psychedelic frequency that is channeled through a homo-pop lens.

Multimedia sculpture that originates from my Cosmic Warrior series, but brings the concept into a three dimensional world. I created a miniature digital 3D sculpture of a Cosmic Warrior in Blender and had it printed. Then I did a silicone mould of my hand, after which I used photogrammetry of the hand to create a digital 3D model of the hand. I then made a circular wooden frame with a subtle light from behind to mount the hand and miniature sculpture on and frame it to the wall. There is also a digital image of the elements together.
