Vortex, the second piece in the Celestials series is a 2'-8" diameter, 10" deep laser cut plywood sculpture, hand stained and finished with embedded LEDs. The lighting elements draw the viewer into its various portals as if being sucked into a wormhole, only to arrive on the other side in a new reality shed of all physical human-ness, illusion, and expectations.  

​

Calm and serene, Vortex invites meditation and contemplation in its presence, a means to know one's self and place in this existence.
