 CASE STUDY
RESILIENT | Palm Springs | Residential Installation

Project Overview
Three works from the RESILIENT series were installed in a private Palm Springs–area residence. The pieces introduce a subtle tactile presence in the bedroom, where sanded textures and luminous color accents animate an otherwise neutral palette.

Context
The clients were looking to create a more layered, engaging visual experience in a calm, minimalist space. They selected two existing 20" x 20" works whose material surface resonated with the surrounding desert landscape.

Approach
A third piece was created specifically for this installation to bridge the two existing works—completing the rhythm across the wall and unifying the composition. The added work was designed to maintain the series’ textured language while introducing small bursts of color to energize the room.

Outcome
The completed trio establishes a quiet but compelling material dialogue within the space. The surfaces echo the desert environment while the color accents bring lift and warmth, resulting in a balanced, site-responsive installation that feels both rooted and refined.
