Fibonacci Lines are a series of steel bars illuminated from the inside. The piece is scalable in size from an interior wall hanging to large public art installed on the exterior of a building. Fibonacci Lines represents a fusion of art and technology, where thick steel bars come to life with imperfect hand-drawn lines that emit a soft, ethereal glow. Bathed in Vantablack, the darkest substance known to humanity, these bars reveal the creator's touch immortalized in a single, luminous plasma-cut line running down their core. This radiant line, seemingly alive, pays homage to the extreme energy harnessed during the creation process, while also serving as a poignant juxtaposition to the fallibility of the human hand against a backdrop of flawless precision.

 The relative lengths of each illuminated bar follow the Fibonacci sequence—a growth pattern ubiquitous in nature, from the graceful spirals of seashells to the majestic proportions of trees and even the rhythmic cadence of the human heartbeat. A symphony of art and mathematics, viewers are transported into a world where innovation and the wonders of the natural world converge in a harmonious dance of light and form.
