I am Luna, your guide 𓃬 …

I’ve crafted this portal as an invitation to expand … to suspend disbelief … and to explore the wisdom that bridges our inner worlds to our outer world …

I came to my practice through studies of interior design, art history, meditation and religious studies. By exploring hidden wisdoms on the fringes of these subjects, I became curious how one could blend history and metaphysics with emerging technologies, with the aim of eliciting introspection to bring awareness to the undercurrents of the mind.

In considering how physical space may facilitate personal evolution, my work experiments with sensory immersion and deprivation in relation to embodied experience. Whether these be temporary constructions or permanent artifacts, my goal is to create enveloping, holistic spaces that not only alter perception, but increase questioning of the known "self."

This consideration works in tandem with the inner world. From guiding journeys into our inner wilderness through story telling and meditation, to crafting altars to materialize our value system, to ceramics and paintings, to envisioning immersive sculptural spaces, to writings musings on embodied experiences, my creative pulse is grounded in the exploratory process of making … and unmaking.
