Sudan
Omdurman
Brown dust, hot air
Broken system, broken roads
Sweet sandalwood incense rising in smoke
Ladies wrapped in every color and every pattern
Morning milk tea with cookies out under the mango tree
Hopeful graffiti of revolution on every street wall
A thousand guests, a million cups of coffee
The two Niles converging at one point
Mixing, sorting, moving on North
I will leave for my home soon
But I won't forget
Omdurman
Sudan

This piece was made while I was visiting Sudan and during the time I started meetings to build a school using the charity money collected from all the amazing collectors of Sudfah.  I was inspired by the contrast between the ubiquitous dirt and broken system of Sudan and the beautiful colorful culture and people.  The colorful forms represent to me both the long flowy garments of the ladies and the smoke and aromas rising from the unique incense and perfumes of Sudan.

25% of the proceeds will be donated toward building a school for an underdeveloped community in Sudan.

Sandaliya

In Bokeh, Michael Kozlowski unites algorithmic artistry with refined physical craftsmanship, creating sculptures, lighting, and digital works that explore the interplay of light, form, and the complexity of perception. 

At the heart of the Bokeh collection lie three hundred unique digital artworks, generated by the base algorithm that informs every physical piece. Collectors will have the rare opportunity to acquire one of thirty exclusive wall sculptures, each a tangible expression of its digital counterpart. These sculptures, sold after the digital auction on a first-come, first-served basis, embody the connection between the digital and the material, merging code and craft.
