About The Author

Daniel Arsham is an artist whose work blends sculpture, architecture, performance, and design into a singular vision shaped by time, memory, and material experimentation. His now-iconic “eroded” aesthetic—artifacts rendered as if excavated from the future—has become a signature visual language that speaks to impermanence, nostalgia, and transformation. Born in Cleveland and raised in Miami, Arsham became the youngest artist ever to work with legendary choreographer Merce Cunningham. His work is in the collections of the world‘s most acclaimed museums and he has collaborated with major brands from Dior to Adidas.
