Inspired by my interest in cars and their complex engine
systems, I created this kinetic sculpture to explore
similarities between mechanical and neural networks.
Interlocking gears of different sizes are powered by a
motor, allowing individual parts to move together as one
system. The branching forms surrounding the gears were
especially inspired by the shapes and connections of
neurons. I kept visible drawing and sketch lines on the
surfaces, adding a hand-drawn quality that contrasts with
the precise mechanical movement. Together, these
elements visualize thought as a constantly connected and
moving system.
