Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

I’m drawn to mixed-media storytelling, where architecture, psychology, and emotion intersect. I like building layered worlds that don’t just exist visually, but feel inhabited, spaces where textures, forms, and fragments of memory hold tension, contradiction, and quiet truth. It’s less about a single medium and more about creating an experience where the internal becomes visible, and the unseen finds structure.

Where do you find inspiration?

I find inspiration in the quiet fractures people carry, the spaces between what is felt and what is spoken. In memory, in cities that breathe and decay at once, in the psychology of survival and the architecture of emotion. Sometimes it’s in fleeting moments, light slipping across a wall, a passing expression, the weight of silence settling into a room. I don’t chase inspiration. I notice it when something unspoken insists on being seen.

What would you do with $25,000?

I would invest it into building interdisciplinary, healing-centered art spaces, where architecture and psychology meet to support women’s mental well-being. It would fund materials, research, and community-based workshops, allowing me to create immersive installations and expand access to art as a tool for recovery, autonomy, and voice.
