Chapter Two: Foundryon Discovery Log – Chapter Two: The Forge Beneath the Spectrum

When the James Webb Space Telescope first surveyed the faint system now catalogued as Aurigae-F, its instruments recorded a spectral flicker not aligned with any known planetary orbit. Later cross-verification from the Very Large Telescope in Chile confirmed it: the source was not a planet, but a moon—a restless satellite now known as Erythra Ferris.

The First Signal

The first discovery was not a planet but its moon. Ferris tore open its crust, releasing vapor rich with water and iron into the void. Only by chasing that scar did humanity find Foundryon - a world with an atmosphere too balanced, too familiar, to be ignored.

Trilobite From Another World

Every once in a while, I get obsessed with a form that feels like it doesn’t belong to this planet. Trilobites are one of those forms—prehistoric, armored, patterned like an alien’s idea of symmetry. They’re fossils that already look like sci-fi props, even though they crawled through the oceans hundreds of millions of years ago.

USA #NoKings Protests and Why I m so Concerned about California

In this post, I explain why my art blog and subreddit have taken a sharper political turn lately. As an artist based in progressive circles and deeply connected to California's creative communities, I feel a responsibility to speak up. When things go wrong in society, artists often notice first—and staying silent isn’t an option. Here's why raising my voice through memes, writing, and sculpture has become part of the work.
