The future, I believe, is a place where philosophical thinking and artistic creativity will be crucial to moving society forward. As we approach a more automated era, it is essential to keep the integrity of academic inquiry and processing. This is something that only humans can do. Keeping this philosophical view keeps me honest in my work.

Liminality and longing pervade the spaces I explore, which center around Sicilian heritage, queer theory, and womenโ€™s work. Iโ€™m drawn to the signifiers of these cultures as they emerge in the modern urban setting I live in, and am interested in the dialog that might arise out of their intersection. 

My work reflects my need to impulsively grab onto a moment or object or space that I cannot physically carry with me โ€“ something I can piece together for future analysis or negotiate what I had been thinking. This holds true whether I am shooting, writing or sculpting. 

Photography was my first form of collecting moments. Itโ€™s difficult for me to pinpoint why I am fixated on things. Itโ€™s subconscious.
