Communication, design, and ethics in practice…
A home for my creative projects and process notes. Visual pieces, experiments, and reflections on making, meaning, and design as a way of thinking.
What began as a mass-produced triptych became a quiet act of transformation. Through layered paint, restraint, and deliberate interruption, a decorative object evolved into a singular work. Crowned Toward the Void explores presence, direction, and the moment of standing still before choosing what comes next.
Created in 2010, La Gioconda Visiting Her Old Friend Leonardo reimagines the Mona Lisa as a visitor rather than an icon. Through constructed space, borrowed history, and quiet light, the work explores authorship, lineage, and presence, inviting reflection on how classical images continue to live beyond their frames.
This project explores how digital technologies can reinterpret 1960s poetry, specifically through "The 21st Century Brautiganism: A Visual Poem." Premiering in 2010, it combines video interpretations of Richard Brautigan’s "Love Poem," engaging audiences through varied emotional experiences. The initiative promotes poetic exploration via multimedia and interactive storytelling.
