Xenoesthesia is a portmanteau of xeno, meaning alien, and esthesia, meaning pertaining to the senses. Combined, Xenoesthesia translates to "alien perception."
The inspiration for this piece came from a psytrance party that left a deep impression on me. Much of the deco at the event was alien-themed, creating a mind-blowing atmosphere that felt truly out of this world. It was also the first U.S. appearance of Spectrasonics, known for his high-energy, middle-groove psytrance style—and the whole night was incredibly inspirational.
I wanted to create a piece that captured the essence of that experience—an alien being that was fully sentient and fully activated, as a memory of that unforgettable night. My intention was for viewers who encounter this piece to feel like they are receiving a download of universal secrets simply by gazing into its eyes.
Xenoesthesia reminds us to stay playful with life, to embrace mystery and wonder, and to remember that there’s a far greater truth out there—one that stretches far beyond anything we can currently fathom.
