Sand Dollars for Dainara
On October 14th, 2024, one of my best friends, Dainara Nicole Burford, was tragically murdered by her husband. At her celebration of life, the murderer was not mentioned, and she was referred to by her maiden name. On change.org, I started a petition called Dainara’s Law to mandate the legal name change of domestic violence murder victims. It’s a law that needs to be made, for which I have gotten support; however, this is a depressing subject. Domestic violence is never easy to address especially when a death is the result of it. In an attempt to raise awareness, another one of my best friends, Sarina Higgins, came up with the wonderful idea of using hidden art to promote Dainara’s Law.

Art Refused to Be Silent
Art never saved me in the dramatic way people like to tell stories. There was no moment where I stood before a canvas and suddenly understood my purpose, no lightning bolt of genius, no applause waiting on the other side of creation. What art did instead was quieter—and far more stubborn. It stayed when everything else learned how to leave.

The Crossroads of Becoming
I found it by accident. Tucked between a laundromat and a shuttered bookstore, half-hidden by ivy and time, stood a rusted phone booth. Not the sleek glass kind from movies, but an old metal one—peeling paint, cracked receiver, a dial so stiff it groaned when turned. No one had used it in years. Probably decades.

Why beauty can make a song sad ?
Listening to a song often feels like we lose ourselves into the lyrics and our thoughts dance with the melody and we connect with the singer's emotion. So is the song "August", the last month of summer where we reminisce about the beginning of our carelessness in June, the course of our relationship with the salt of the sea and the hot sun of July,the month of August is the month of farewell, it is to remind us of the end of the journey. August doesn't promise you anything, it reminds you.

In Search of the Perfect Imperfection. AI-Generated.
There is a certain grace in the crooked line, the one that breaks from the symmetry of a carefully measured design. It is in the pause between breaths, when the world seems to falter and then steadies itself. Some call it imperfection, but those who seek it know better: it is perfection in its truest form, the moment when everything aligns, not because it was forced, but because it was meant to be.

Art Isn’t Escape — It’s Translation
People often speak of art as a doorway out—an exit from reality, a refuge from pain, a soft place to land when the world grows loud. They say we read to forget, paint to flee, write to disappear. But the longer I live, the less that idea holds. Art has never taken me away from life. It has taken me deeper into it.
