Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

My favorite type of art to create is mixed media work that integrates traditional materials with digital element often culminating in immersive, impact-driven sculptures. Designed and fabricated to act as a catalyst for dialogue, connection, and awareness. Ment to spotlight environmental, technological, social, and political issues, whatever feels most urgent and relevant in the world, and translate those themes into something people can physically experience and discuss.

Where do you find inspiration?

I draw inspiration from the intersection of nature, history, mythology, and the evolution of ideas across philosophy, science, and technology; exploring what it means to be human. Influenced by interdisciplinary thought leaders, History and mythology offer frameworks, archetypes, symbols, recurring patterns of rise, collapse, and renewal. To connect past to present, give the work depth; I strive to blend ancient and emerging, organic and engineered, translated into immersive forms to spark ideas

What would you do with $25,000?

I’d put it straight back into the work. I’d go back to Italy, spend time in Pietrasanta studying under a stone carving maestro to keep refining my craft I’d invest in new tools, source high-quality stone, and give myself the materials to push the work further. I’d also use it to collaborate with other artisans, metalworkers, fabricators, specialists, to expand what we can collectively share as a new series that feels intentional, technically strong, and actually meaningful.
