For the past five years, my research has centered on the illusory nature of perception and its influence on our self-concept. Now, with AI reshaping our understanding of consciousness, and interplanetary life shifting from dream to imminent reality, Soft Reset asks how we might align with these expanding horizons while cultivating courage rather than fear. How can we reconcile what we feel with what we can measure and name?

The central mobile Baby Universe aims to embody the hypnagogic space between waking and sleeping, when consciousness softens and something else seeps in with ease and without effort. Rather than making grand proclamations about our future, the piece creates a protective bubble for wonder, like a drift that feels both vast and somehow safe. Flanking it, two paintings embody the grounding force of two personal relationships that have anchored my lived experience throughout my research. They are intimate, abstract portraits of human scale that serve as counterpoints to this collective human reaching to the future.

The title of the show is a suggestion for how we might approach change not through rupture but through gentle recalibration. The term nods to the pervasive presence of technology but also points toward something deeper; computation not as cold circuitry but as nature's own method—life itself as an ongoing process of pattern-recognition and subtle adaptation. Symmetries and paired forms throughout the exhibition trace these recurring patterns—cellular architectures, cosmic arrangements, neural pathways, abstract reasoning. In weaving these together, the work seeks to reconcile seemingly disparate realms of biology, philosophy, prayer, and embodied experience.

Life is something that exceeds our usual materialist frameworks—a force that moves through and beyond us and leaves a quiet transformation. But among these larger questions we return to softness, to the importance of holding space for our human scale and needs. Our readiness for tomorrow lives not only in technological hardness but in our capacity for gentle attention, for expanding our self-understanding while maintaining our essential tenderness.
