We were truly honored to collaborate with the Physics Department at Columbia University on a project rooted in the legacy and future of scientific discovery. Our Fundamental Forces series was installed within the department, bringing a visual interpretation of the core interactions that govern the universe into the academic space where those ideas are explored every day. Seeing the work displayed in the halls alongside classrooms, labs, and faculty offices was a meaningful full-circle moment for our studio.
Our Fundamental Forces series visually interprets the four fundamental interactions—gravity, electromagnetism, and the strong and weak nuclear forces—that govern the structure and behavior of the universe.

In addition, we were commissioned to create a portrait poster of famed Columbia alumnus Julian Schwinger. Schwinger was one of the central figures in the development of quantum electrodynamics (QED), the theory describing how light and matter interact. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, his work helped establish one of the most precise and successful frameworks in all of science. Designing a portrait that honored both his intellectual rigor and his lasting impact on modern physics was a privilege. It was a joy to contribute something lasting to an institution so deeply connected to his legacy—and to see our work hanging where future physicists will walk past it every day.
