My art spans sculpture, drawing, photography, film, writing and portrait sketching—the human face is my main focus. I do a lot of abstract work, and my pieces often predict the future. which sometimes scare me and make me pause, but people keep asking me to create more. I hope in the future I’ll gain more materials to keep exploring and expanding my vision.
Where do you find inspiration?Where I find inspiration: it isn’t external—it's a inner urge, a call I feel in my hands and fingertips to bring something into the world.
What would you do with $25,000?With $25,000, I’d bring a destroyed Mesopotamian artifacts to life—sculpture and painting reimagining its story. Funds would support materials, studio space, and a first exhibition to share these artifacts’ memory. This project—my “Incectry Artifact” exhibit—would blend sculpture and painting to honor culture, resilience, and reconstruction.
