Released new series "Metallized Molecule

Let me announce that a new seires  "Metallized Molecule" have been released.
Recently I have been being into how we human organic being could harmonaize or get fusion with AI mechanical matter. This concept is represented many movies as like "MATRIX" and "Blade Runner". I really love this philosophical concept and I will keep on expoloring the theme. These images are my experimental vision that are coming from within and am using the nautilus motif as an organic architectual metaphor. I hope you will enjoy. --->> Gallery
