NERV reimagines the architectural nervous system of human ambition through an installation anchored against the wall. It serves as a reflection on the paradoxical nature of the human spirit: the capacity to inhabit the roles of both sinner and deity simultaneously, trapped within the machinery of our own making yet burdened with the terrifying autonomy of creating our own destiny. While the work draws from industrial existentialism, it is complicated by the syncretism of my roots, suggesting that the gods we construct are mirrors of our own mortal complexity.

Though it serves as an homage to Klimt’s golden embrace, it is primarily a study of our undeniable genetic tether. By invoking the scientific ghosts of Y-Chromosomal Adam and Mitochondrial Eve, the piece strips away the silos of modern identity to reveal a singular, shared origin. The integration of the Caribbean basket becomes a vessel for collective consciousness, a physical manifestation of the reality that we are all inextricably gathered in the same vessel. It is a subversion of the rigid Christian dogmas that shaped the islands, transforming established belief systems into a fluid celebration of human entanglement and the shared history that precedes us all.
