INTERSECTION
Every person has them in life. The human experience of improbable dreams, challenges, priorities, and personal decisions. Our human spirit seeking expression, meaning, and purpose in a changing modern world of humanities, cultures, politics, technologies. It’s been said “engineering gives us structure, and art carries the life”. I can relate. Seeing through the eyes of the artists brings vibrant colors and form. The engineer turns dreams into designs. Both art and engineering have breathed oxygen into my life.
This book began quite some years ago. Not as an autobiography to be left behind, nor a novels plot to be discovered, it is an interior monologue - a recollection of the pivotal intersections of a life that would be not be confined by the laws of physical sciences alone. For I found art and engineering would share the ethos of both beauty and function.
INTERSECTION. Here within is my invitation to join me in stories of art, engineering, worldly adventures - mirrors of reflection of fractured narratives, oil paintings, illustrations, and photographs.
