A short film I made for a UCLA class back in 2018 with two amazing filmmakers Jess Carichner and Katie Willcockson. Jess is a former tap dancer, and she told me about how she missed dancing sometimes. This film is a reminder for all of us, creators out there, to seek the light within! Hold… Continue reading Gotta Dance short film

With his first major success, the angular Soviet… Continue reading Konstantin Melnikov. Architect. Sleep enthusiast
Gustav Klimt. Goldsmith of Dreams

Symbolism first appeared as a literary concept in the late 19th century, but very soon was identified with the artwork of a younger generation of painters who were similarly rejecting the conventions of Naturalism. Symbolist painters believed that art should reflect an emotion or idea rather than represent the… Continue reading Gustav Klimt. Goldsmith of Dreams
