Roy Nachum, is an experimental artist known for his comprehensive artistic practice that spans across various mediums, including painting, sculpture, architecture, installation and technology. Works utilize art historical elements, conceptualism, and interactivity to explore complex psych-visual factors like sensory substitution, internal representations, transhistorical paradigms, and mental rotation.

The Crown serves as a symbol of humility and equality. The Braille a medium to communicate though poetry and language, inclusive of and a tribute to people who have visual impairments to help create awareness.
