Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from a wide range of influences — music, film, history, and personal experience all shape my creative perspective. Actually meeting renowned artists like André 3000 and Anthony Lister further ignited that passion. In moments like those, creativity stopped feeling distant or imagined — it made it reality.
What would you do with $25,000?I would elaborate heavily on my public projects. Exposing the public to amazing fine art experiences helps to cultivate the heart beat of creativity & curative humanity.
