Genius: A Celebration of Oppenheimer

Ever wonder who shaped the modern understanding of the atomic age? J. Robert Oppenheimer, physicist, visionary, and one of the most complex figures in scientific history, left an indelible mark on our world.

This bold mixed media collage honors the brilliant yet conflicted mind behind the Manhattan Project. Oppenheimer’s leadership propelled the development of quantum theory and ushered in a new era of scientific possibility, while his later warnings about nuclear proliferation revealed a man deeply aware of the moral weight of discovery.

“Genius” captures the tension between innovation and consequence, weaving together equations, archival imagery, and layered paper elements to reflect the duality of his legacy. It is a portrait of intellect, responsibility, and the profound impact one scientist can have on the fate of humanity.
