In the name of examining creation and impermanence, Abarbanel uses forms and natural patterns evocative of biological, botanical, geological, and even mechanical structures. Further inspiration is derived from fractals, accretive formations (the accumulation of particles into a massive object by gravitationally attracting more matter), and the Fibonacci sequence.

The machined minimalism of the Tesla Cybertruck is possibly the most divisive design in years, sporting angles and a finish that makes the DMC Delorean almost seem Isetta -ish.

From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
