We All Deserve A Halo

"We All Deserve a Halo" is a collection dedicated to illuminating the inherent divinity within ordinary individuals worldwide. What distinguishes one person's sanctity from another's? This series aims to prompt introspection, urging the audience to recognize their own divine essence and awaken to the realization that each of us harbors the potential to master ourselves, evolving into the highest manifestation of our purpose on this earthly journey. Through these artworks, the aspiration is to foster a collective awareness of the sacredness that resides within us all, transcending superficial distinctions and inviting viewers to embrace the profound power within to elevate their own existence.

DOMINICANA (2023)

I spent a few weeks in a small town called La Guazara in the Dominican Republic. It’s a beautiful place with the most incredible views. There are butterflies and horses existing freely all over town. There I spent a lot of time with the local children teaching them english and art. They quickly became my favorite part of being there. The love they constantly poured out was so pure and fulfilling.
