engineer and an artist the story started when I was in the high school my dream

when I was in the high school my dream

when I was in the high school my dream was to become a design engineer civil

engineering so I can keep doing both but

engineering so I can keep doing both but I turned on to study Electrical

I turned on to study Electrical

I turned on to study Electrical Engineering and to be honest I was ready

Engineering and to be honest I was ready

Engineering and to be honest I was ready to study any engineering field but not

to study any engineering field but not

to study any engineering field but not electrical as a child I used to think

electrical as a child I used to think

electrical as a child I used to think about devices electronics and machines

about devices electronics and machines

about devices electronics and machines as things drive the human away from

approach this idea as an engineer and an artist colors in nature just like

artist colors in nature just like

artist colors in nature just like numbers for example let’s do a simple

numbers for example let’s do a simple

numbers for example let’s do a simple math here

math here

math here between 0 & 1 how many numbers we have

between 0 & 1 how many numbers we have

between 0 & 1 how many numbers we have we have infinity numbers in nature like

we have infinity numbers in nature like

we have infinity numbers in nature like 0.0 0.1 0.2 until we reach 1 and then we

0.0 0.1 0.2 until we reach 1 and then we

0.0 0.1 0.2 until we reach 1 and then we go on if we think about it as a where it

go on if we think about it as a where it

go on if we think about it as a where it will come just like an algorithm if we

will come just like an algorithm if we

will come just like an algorithm if we think about it as colors will have like

think about it as colors will have like

think about it as colors will have like the gradient colors coming from light to

the gradient colors coming from light to

the gradient colors coming from light to dark for example and if we think about

dark for example and if we think about

dark for example and if we think about it as a photo will come like a normal

it as a photo will come like a normal

it as a photo will come like a normal picture where we have the gradient

picture where we have the gradient

picture where we have the gradient colors but the others perspective is

like thinking about colors like numbers

like thinking about colors like numbers discrete numbers like 1 2 3 4 infinity

discrete numbers like 1 2 3 4 infinity

discrete numbers like 1 2 3 4 infinity so these discrete numbers we can

so these discrete numbers we can

so these discrete numbers we can represent them by values of colors like

represent them by values of colors like

represent them by values of colors like for example we have it coming this way

for example we have it coming this way

for example we have it coming this way each number will have a color and if we

each number will have a color and if we

each number will have a color and if we think about it as a wave that will come

think about it as a wave that will come

think about it as a wave that will come just like a digital where this is for

just like a digital where this is for

just like a digital where this is for engineers and when we come to combine

engineers and when we come to combine

engineers and when we come to combine these ideas of having discrete numbers

these ideas of having discrete numbers

these ideas of having discrete numbers and represent them by colors we have

and represent them by colors we have

and represent them by colors we have this artwork
