The Guardians of Other Worlds is a series of four conceptual sculptures that present the beginnings of four fantasy stories. Each of these stories is based on the visual combination of fanciful structures, which support various animals. The viewers of these sculptures are asked to finish the stories in their own minds.
The first sculpture in the series is called, The Guardians of the Cosmic Containment Vessel. At this point, the sculpture is meant to suggest the existence of some kind of precious cosmic element that is being gathered and contained within the vessel, and guarded by the six wolves that live inside.
The next sculpture in the series is called, The Guardians of the Black Hole Containment Vessel. This sculpture is suggesting that the specially designed vessel being guarded by six panthers is capable of containing a black hole.
The next sculpture in the series is called, Guard Dogs in a Parallel Universe. This sculpture suggests the possible existence of multiple universes, and presents two identical dogs guarding one door from both sides.
The last sculpture in this series is called, Guarding the Cosmic Portal. This sculpture also suggests the possible existence of multiple universes, and the existence of a special structure through which one can enter. This special portal is guarded by a single wolf, which dwells on the other side.
