Current Works
THE MEDICI PROJECT
A long-term body of wearable sculptures exploring how power, knowledge, faith, and legacy shaped one of history’s most influential cultural dynasties.
RESEARCH JOURNAL
This section offers occasional glimpses of the studio into the ongoing development of future works, including research materials, sketches, material experiments, studio processes, and construction techniques. These fragments represent moments within a much larger journey of artistic inquiry and creation. Each project begins with an extended period of research, drawing upon historical archives, cultural narratives, architecture, spiritual traditions, landscapes, and material experimentation. These investigations often evolve over several years before reaching their final form.
Current research includes The Medici Project, a multi-chapter body of work inspired by the cultural legacy of Florence and the Medici family, exploring themes of patronage, cartography, architecture, lineage, and the preservation of knowledge across generations. While the final outcomes remain unknown, each project contributes to the broader vision of building an evolving archive of wearable sculptures dedicated to cultural understanding, storytelling, and dialogue between cultures and nations.
Chapter I
Curiosity & Discovery
(Inspired by Cosimo de’ Medici’s Hall of Geographical Maps)
Inspiration
The first chapter investigates the Renaissance spirit of curiosity. Inspired by the Hall of Geographical Maps in Palazzo Vecchio, the work explores how maps became symbols of discovery, knowledge, and humanity’s desire to understand the world beyond its visible boundaries. Rather than representing geography alone, cartography is interpreted as a metaphor for exploration—of cultures, ideas, and human imagination.
Chapter II
Lineage & Legacy
(Inspired by the Family Tree of Maria de’ Medici)
Inspiration
This chapter examines how legacy is preserved across generations. Inspired by the family tree of Maria de’ Medici, the work reflects upon ancestry, inheritance, and the invisible threads that connect one generation to the next. The family tree becomes a sculptural language through which ideas of continuity, identity, memory, and historical influence are translated into wearable form.
Chapter III
Sacred Architecture
(Inspired by Florence Cathedral)
Inspiration
The third chapter explores architecture as an expression of faith, craftsmanship, and collective ambition. Inspired by Florence Cathedral, the work investigates rhythm, geometry, proportion, and light, translating architectural language into sculptural forms that celebrate the dialogue between structure and spirituality.
Chapter IV
Narrative in Stone
(Inspired by the Altarpiece of the Old Cathedral of Salamanca)
Inspiration
The final chapter is inspired by the extraordinary sculptural altarpiece of the Old Cathedral of Salamanca. Rich in narrative detail and symbolic imagery, the altar demonstrates how stories can be preserved through layers of craftsmanship. This chapter reimagines that visual storytelling within wearable sculpture, transforming historical narratives into contemporary sculptural forms.
These chapters represent selected moments within an ongoing artistic investigation. As research continues, new discoveries, experiments, and prototypes will gradually become part of this evolving archive.
