Curiosity drives me and is what I look to inspire in others. It is what drives invention and evolution.

The kind that transforms a room, places those who enter in a new perspective, and perhaps leaves them with an expanded mindset.
Where do you find inspiration?Anything and everything at any given time, to be honest. I suppose I'm most drawn to tiny dramas; mineral formations, hidden fungi, mosses, tide pools, everything beneath our feet and inside our bodies. Or on the opposite end, the cinematic moments: stars being born, volcanoes, hydroponic vents, and sunsets. And my heart will always align with Science Fiction or Speculative Fiction in any form.
What would you do with $25,000?I would fund my current project; the next phase of my work will focus on expression independent of language, whether human or otherwise. My exploration of plants has served as a personal analogy, allowing me to borrow elements of their anatomy and communication quirks to highlight human traits. But what if I attempt to understand how plants truly exist—their behaviors, motivations, and the longevity of certain organisms?
