Bubble Farmer (2021) , 2021
DIgital art

Bubble Theory proposes that parts of the universe expanded at certain rates, making a multiverse comprised of individual "bubbles." Metaphorically, then, the universe would be an ocean filled with these bubbles, giving us a way to explore other worlds. The bubble farmer ventures into this ocean, tethered carefully to their ship and armed with only an oxygen tank and a net. The farmer’s task is to find interesting universes to collect and monitor for the sake of exploration and to preserve what the multiverse has to offer.
The bubble farmer represents the creative mind, which works to fabricate and conceptualize ideas that do not exist in our reality but can exist in others—either out there somewhere in the multiverse, or in realities of our own making.
