A Psyche of Lost Youth (2023)

MoonChild works to unveil the reality of a surviving culture still searching for hope and renewal in a tapestry forcably woven.

Ghosts Inside
Do you ever wonder how many people a building meets? As it stands still, people passing by and through. They, along with trees, have an ability to transcend our framework of time, but unlike trees, they do not fall with ease.

European Architecture
How beautiful and strong can a building truly be? For how long? And to what degree? Imagine a building made out of carbon storing building materials....
Alas this building already exists. What if we allowed moss to grow on its surface? With its protection, moisture could feed the plant and a storage unit for unnecessary carbon could be almost effortlessly added to this beautiful building.
