Love is in the little things. It can be a bit chaotic, but it is often greater than the sum of its parts. Made for our 5 year wedding anniversary, I wanted to design something to symbolize it.

But my wife has graciously pushed me to share. The pendant is a little over 1 Inch tall (2.78cm) The earrings, each measure slightly under 0.9 Inch (2.22cm). I highly recommend the polished Silver, it looks and feel truly unique. This design was created using a custom voxel-engine: Hearts grow, float and multiply within the outer shell, until they are tightly packed as one and they settle down.

Sudanese Mobius

One of the more elegant mathematical surfaces finished with an elongated cellular pattern. This variation of the famous möbius band has only one edge and one side. The model was created using a custom build tool set which utilizes Voxels: The surface is first created by drawing a stereographic projection of the underlying shape from 4-space directly into 3d voxel space. Then a pattern is applied by running a charged particle simulation, in this case using triplets of particles, which self-distributes the triplets evenly across the surface. Afterwards, again in voxel-space, the cellular pattern is carved out using the triplets as cell centers.
