A visionary craftsman, sculptor, and engineer, Nick Dong finds beauty in the unknowable. In the exhibition Nick Dong: 11 to 88, he invites visitors into a distinctive world of levitating symbols, illuminated rooms, and cyclical transformations.

Blending scientific precision with artisanal craftsmanship, Dong’s mesmerizing objects and installations find their roots in his upbringing as a Taiwanese-American, steeped in the traditions and history of Buddhism. Transcending visual aesthetics, he aims to provoke spiritual awakening and introspection. Dong’s work explores the intersection of spirituality and the tangible world, evident in his interplay of light and sound.
