Practicing nondual spirituality requires engaging with perception itself. I began imagining everyday objects that would serve as tools for questioning self-concept and reality, shifting them from static forms into active participants in awakening.

Overview

Where possible, I produce prints and furniture designed to facilitate shifts in consciousness. By modifying everyday objects in subtle but disruptive ways, they become catalysts for introspection, perceptual challenge, and self-inquiry. Employing a language that ranges from functional to conceptual, I obscure familiar functions to provoke interactive engagement rather than passive observation.

This process is guided by the 'Design for Nothing' mind-training approach, which I developed to create space for oneness in daily life. Each piece challenges perception, encouraging us to step beyond habitual viewpoints and confront the illusion of time and space. When entering your field of view, a Self-Questioning Device is not just an object—it becomes an active tool for inquiry.

To those not engaged in a spiritual practice, these objects may appear impractical, even faulty—but therein lies their function. Their unusual nature invites natural self-questioning, skepticism, and discussion, making them accessible as tools for expanding perception. The simple act of admitting uncertainty opens the door to present-moment awareness—a first step toward awakening from conditioned perception.
