His process, born from trial and error, seeks to reinterpret forms and draw new possibilities from urban and rural environments. Each decision reflects a dialogue with materials and space: the Stan Smith ceases to be a mere object and becomes a conversation partner guiding creation.

Her work at Far Residency enhances interaction with other artists, showing that communication is a central tool in the creative process.
