What is your favorite type of art to create?

I create Cinematic Dioramas and Skeletal Set Designs using salvaged scrap wood. My work focuses on the "bones" of a structure—the rafters, the studs, and the meticulous architecture of decay. By blending Visual Poetry & Cinematography, I document the honest beauty of urban ruin, proving that even a world reduced to fragments can be forced into a new, intentional existence.

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration is born from deep emotional enrage, a volatile energy I channel into the surgical precision of my builds. I find it in the friction between chaos and control and the honesty of Architectural Decay. I am driven by the act of reclaiming what has been broken or forgotten, using the grit of reality to prove that beauty survives best in the aftermath of collapse.

What would you do with $25,000?

Losing everything is the ultimate blank canvas. With $25,000, the catalyst for a total creative resurrection, I would rebuild my life as a creator. I would secure a dedicated workshop to scale my cinematic dioramas and would replace my cinematography equipment and woodworking tools. This funding would provide the motivation to stop mourning what was lost and start documenting the honest beauty of what can be built from the remains.
