archaeologist and his passion for storytelling. Specializing in metal sculptures, Chad’s artistic practice explores the intersection of history, culture, and human experience.

Artwork: Where is my Mind?
Where is My Mind is a dynamic exploration of contemporary society’s relationship with technology and social media. Through abstract sculptural representations, Chad captures the tension between the digital world and our natural environment, reflecting on how technology has transformed communication and community interaction. While some forms in the artwork are inspired by technology’s impact on our lives, others are influenced by the serenity and emotional freedom found in nature. These dual themes create a thought-provoking narrative that is both relatable and approachable, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own experiences in a rapidly changing world.
