Places & Lineages 



New YorkIn New York, I worked within the architectural lighting industry, collaborating on large-scale building projects. This experience shaped my understanding of spatial and technical systems—how light, infrastructure, and architecture construct environments.


ParisMy practice continues to develop in Paris, where painting, sculpture, and installation intersect. Across these forms, I examine how inherited systems of labor, material culture, and place shape identity and the environments we inhabit.


Nove di BassanoNove di Bassano is a small town near Venice with a long ceramic history. My family has been connected to this region for generations. My great-grandfather operated a ceramic factory there, where my grandfather and his siblings worked before emigrating after the Second World War.

Within my family, different forms of labor intersect: ceramics, construction, agriculture, and fashion. These traditions—making, building, cultivating, and designing—form a quiet foundation beneath the work.
