How do you define your project?
Though everything I do is around the idea of seeking beauty, I love the freedom of allowing myself to experience different mediums of expression, and letting my intuition to drive me through professional experiences that integrates them all. I am currently launching a new project with my friend Nat Sly that is called Dora Daar. Dora Daar revolts around the idea that our body is our first home and our physical house is our second. The first one mirrors the second one and viceversa, definitely our homes are bridges for a higher living but we must learn how to connect with them first.
I feel gratitude for everything several times a day, this keeps me very connected.
How do you contribute to shape the future?
I believe that if we wish to see change in the world the first one that has to change is oneself. I try to do my bit by keeping myself centered and conscious through personal work, and trying to be consequent with what I choose everyday, from what I buy or consume to what kind of clients I accept to work for depending if we share some values in common.
Professionally with Dora Daar we are starting the project with major emphasis on creating a community through real collaborations, weaving a web. We think we must move forwards from the “I” to “We” thinking. In everything, not just creating but also on the producing and sourcing side.
What is your ritual to connect with your inner self?
I wake up every morning and breathe until I merge into meditation and I do a series of visualizations. I feel gratitude for everything several times a day, this keeps me very connected.
Who is your biggest Muse?
