Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The portfolio documents light works through both visual presentation and construction detail. Cosmic Sinkhole is described as 32 individually built planets arranged across three concentric orbits, with more than 4,600 addressable LEDs and a disco-ball center. Its approximately 80-kilogram structure was suspended between trees using steel cables; the rigging was tested in advance in the artist’s parents’ attic and installed with an industrial climber.
