A composite image showing a modular design structure. On the left, a sequence of technical line drawings illustrates various configurations and assembly details of a hexagonal frame. The center section shows detailed circular insets focusing on joint components and connectors used in the frame construction. Below, parts laid out horizontally display individual components, including arms and mounting hardware. On the right side, a 3D rendering of the assembled hexagonal structure is shown with internal arms extending inwards, each arm tipped with small mounts, possibly for sensors or cameras.

A collage of various sculptural works from Morphology Studios, featuring experimental structures and materials from 2020-2021. On the left, a white fabric sculpture floats mid-air, anchored by strings. Below it, a hand holds an iridescent sheet reflecting rainbow hues against a green landscape. In the center, a black plastic-like structure is suspended taut within a wooden frame. To the right, an intricate star-shaped geometric framework is constructed from interconnected wooden sticks and strings, displayed on a wooden floor. At the bottom right, two smaller images show circular wire frameworks with radial strings.
