Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

I create immersive installations that merge sculpture, animation, and digital media. My practice lives at the intersection of the physical and the virtual — spaces where audiences don't simply observe, but inhabit the narrative. By layering tangible objects with digital environments, I build experiences that don't just tell stories; they make those stories felt.

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration is rooted in ancestral cultures and their cosmovisions — ancient frameworks for understanding the world that remain urgently relevant today. I approach technology not as a destination, but as a medium through which these narratives can be expanded and reimagined. The tension between indigenous wisdom and contemporary tools is the driving force behind everything I create.

What would you do with $25,000?

This grant would allow me to fully realize projects that currently exist only as concepts due to production constraints. I would invest in materials, technology, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to elevate the scale and depth of my installations — ultimately accelerating my growth as an artist and amplifying the reach of the stories I am committed to bringing into the world.
