I create art to make inner experiences visible and transform shared spaces into moments of beauty.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
My work is versatile and driven by exploration. I move across materials, forms, and spaces to create experiences rather than objects. Recently, I focus on installation art, stepping beyond the canvas to transform physical space into environments shaped by emotion and personal experience. I aim to make inner states visible, creating immersive works where each viewer can find their own meaning and sense of beauty.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in personal experiences, emotions, and moments of transition. I’m drawn to the subtle shifts we go through and how they shape our perception. I also observe how people move through spaces and respond to their environments. These elements guide me to create work that transforms inner experiences into physical forms, inviting others to connect with their own feelings and interpretations.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest in expanding my installation practice—materials, fabrication, and space to create a larger immersive work. I would develop an experience that invites the public to engage physically and emotionally with the piece. Part of the funding would also support documentation and exhibition, allowing the work to reach a wider audience and continue growing beyond a single moment.
