RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Like all of my projects, it starts by drawing geometric shapes and puzzles on and on until i see something i can use. In fact some of my projects didn´t even start by knowing in advance what i´d be planning. I would see an interesting image and only then i could assign an object to it. Most of my inspiring drawings are usually done in cad since its so easy to form several objects, 2d or 3d, rotate them, see them as you see fit etc. The materials used i only decide after y have the general shape of the object done.
