This artwork, Evolution, invites you to step into a spiral of transformation—an interplay of tradition and innovation, of nature and technology, of organic form and embedded circuitry.

At its core lies a hand-embroidered nucleus, woven from blue beads with great care and patience. This central circle symbolizes primal trust—a deep, stable place from which change can unfold. From here, the forms spiral outward, becoming ever more dynamic. Within these shapes, recycled Bluechips hardware, encapsulated in Thai lacquer (rak) from Gluta usitata, morphs into microbe-like figures—each one a messenger of human evolution and ingenuity.

This nucleus also carries a personal resonance: it represents the work and legacy of Sabine and Thomas Zimpfer, who shaped and supported the development of the Bluechips Microhouse with dedication and vision. The artwork was created as a farewell gift—anhomage to their contribution. With the transition of Bluechips into the hands of Zollner Elektronik AG, a new chapter begins. The company now enters a larger dimension of evolution, grounded firmly in the foundation laid by the Zimpfer family. What once was the center nowradiates outward—like the spiral itself—into the future.

The tiny hybrid creatures throughout the piece remind us that the future is born from fragments of the past. They are markers of movement and metamorphosis, echoing nature’s own cycles of decay, renewal, and growth. The Thai lacquer not only preserves but heals; the embroidery weaves connections like DNA strands; the cleats and ropes suspend the work in tension and balance, much like life itself.

I extend my heartfelt thanks to Sabine and Thomas Zimpfer, whose support and spirit made this work possible. I hope Evolution brings you joy, reflection, and inspiraton—and that you may discover within its spiral a sense of connection to your own path of transformation.

May it hang with strength and serenity, and continue to evolve with each viewer who steps into its orbit.

To Zollner Elektronik AG, I send my very best wishes—may the company continue to thrive, expand its presence in Thailand, and build upon this strong foundation with success and vision.
