Art is how I understand the world. It’s always been part of me, a way to explore, question, and give shape to what I feel and see.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I’m drawn to art that connects with people and opens new ways of seeing. Work that blends space, perception, and emotion, where viewers don’t just look, but experience and reflect. I like creating pieces that sit between art and learning.
Where do you find inspiration?Mostly from within, through reflection, and from observing how people interact with their surroundings. Nature, memory, and everyday spaces all shape how I think and create.
What would you do with $25,000?I would use it to develop and test my SIS-based framework, creating small-scale environments and visual tools that help young people learn through exploration, perception, and interaction. It would go toward prototyping, documentation, and sharing the results so the idea can grow beyond a single project.
