A recent collaborative project together with her husband was the design and build of the expansion of City O’ City, a vegan restaurant in Denver.

One of them a 10.5 foot long chandelier is a spectacular highlight and has been featured in various magazines. With the launch of “UBUNTU . unspoken trust” in 2013, a collaborative art-dance performance intersecting with the work of three multi-disciplinary artists, Aell branched out into another creative field: set and costume design.

She finds herself in Friedrich Nietzsche’s quote: “One must have a chaos inside oneself to give birth to a dancing star.” Sabin is known for her unconventional use and combination of non traditional materials. Her adept handling of textures, forms and other components opens to an interesting and irresistible new world.
