Physical Creations
I like to work with my hands and realize things that I imagine.
Bonsai
Bonsai
I have always enjoyed raising plants. Bonsai is the Japanese art of growing miniature trees. For me, it is a way of understanding how nature evolves. In order to do it well, you need to understand what the plant wants and believes.
A Ming Aralia bonsai I made for Hannah.
A Norfolk Island bonsai I made for myself.
A collection of Ficuses I made for my mother.
A boxwood bonsai I made for my mother.
Digital Typewriter
Digital Typewriter
I like writing. Sometimes I like to write with a keyboard. What I do not like is being distracted and feeling the energy of the internet interfering with my writing. So I created a digital typewriter. It boots to a text editing software whose only internet connection is to send .txt files to my own email.
The first iteration. Components drilled into a cigar box.
The second iteration. Enclosure 3D printed. Includes a Raspberry Pi, a power bank, and an embedded display. A wireless keyboard is used.
Woodworking

I have just started woodworking. It's difficult to do it in cities! But I really enjoy it! This first project was four cutting boards made for my family.
