"Gyres" is a sculptural composition consisting of more than 40 individual components. It was commissioned for the exhibition UNDER WATER in 2023 at the Palo Alto Art Center, Palo Alto CA. The piece was inspired by the rotating ocean currents (gyres) formed by the earth's rotation and wind patterns. Gyres greatly impact the earth's climate influencing marine ecosystems and weather systems.
