I use the mandala as the key framework for each mapping session. For Carl Jung, the mandala represents the Self — the totality of the psyche. The center symbolizes the core of consciousness, wholeness, and integration.
“The mandala serves a conservative purpose—namely, to restore a previously existing order. But it also serves the creative purpose of giving expression and form to something that does not yet exist.” — Carl Jung
THE CENTER and the Symbolic ancient structures of the circle the fixed point, the anchor--the center is at the eye of the storm, the middle of the compass, the solar plexus of the body and it is the sun, the center of our solar system. The center is the inner point of order and unity—the spiritual nucleus of the person.

Unearthing worlds within
through archetypal symbolic mapping
by using ancient paths to find wholeness
at THE CENTER.
A compass to your inner world through personal mythologies–where art becomes alchemical transformation, and symbolic practices help restore the soul’s wholeness at its sacred center. Reframe your personal story and form your new prismatic oculus—a new eye opens at the close.
THE PROCESS:
A SACRED ALCHEMICAL REBIRTH CYCLE
Through patterns found in the natural cycle of death and rebirth, this process invites individuals, groups, and organizations into a labrinthine journey of transformation—where creative direction, spirit-led meditative practices, and subconscious design intersect through the exploration of dreams and subconcious symbols.
Through 1:1 or group sessions, clients develop and reframe their story by unlocking their own personal symbol systems—unique visual languages that help dissolve psychological blocks while assisting in the process of personal individuation and interpersonal growth.
Rooted in the study of patterns found in nature, sacred geometry, and ancient symbolic practice, this work explores how humans have long used symbols to make sense of the outer cosmos, which for millennia has served as a mirror for the inner psyche and connecting with the divine.

ASTRO-PSYCHOLOGICAL
BIRTH CHART READING
60 min
Astro-psychology blends depth psychology—especially Jungian and humanistic thought—with traditional astrology to explore how planetary archetypes mirror the inner world, emotional development, and spiritual growth. I use Dane Rudhyar’s method of reading the birth chart as a symbolic mandala—a dynamic map of the soul’s evolution through time—revealing the archetypal patterns, inner tensions, and creative rhythms shaping your life path.
Sessions are intuitive, reflective, and designed to support greater self-understanding, spiritual alignment, and conscious life direction.
7 DAY ALCHEMICAL
DESIGN JOURNEY
Translating your vision into structure through symbolic architectures
We work with archetypal forms through, your personal dreams and the astrological birth chart as a mandala (wholeness) and labyrinth (return and transformation) to hold the complexity of personal inner change within a center.
This is a sacred methodology for renewal—supporting individuals, teams, and organizations in releasing the old, envisioning the new, and bringing it into form.

I am an artist, concept architect, prison abolitionist and mystic weaving the traditions of centering prayer, humanistic astrology and the study of personal symbolisim into a healing practice. With over a decade of experience leading multidisciplinary projects at the intersection of visual art, design, and social justice. As a studio artist, creative director and nonprofit founder, my work bridges award-winning collaborators, incarcerated artists, musicians, institutions, and grassroots organizations.
Rooted in sculpture and digital media, my practice spans fine art, filmmaking, animation, immersive environments, digital fabrication, and curatorial strategy. I hold an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) and have taught at Bard College, NYU, Stevens Institute of Technology, and the Shanghai Institute for Visual Art.
For over six years, I I have navigated the United States prison system and fostered community collaborations with incarcerated individuals across various correctional facilities, including the Columbia Secure Center for Girls, the Brookwood Secure Center for Youth, the Shawangunk Correctional Facility, and the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility . My approach blends intuitive insight and symbolic systems with strategic vision—bridging aesthetics, spirituality, and cultural transformation.

PERSONAL ARTIST STATEMENT
Between ruin and renewal, my work cultivates the possibility of a world reborn from fractured remnants.
Through a collage-based approach, I weave the physical fragments of images and material—digital, sculptural, and found—into reimagined landscapes of space and power. Like mushrooms dissolving decay into fertile ground, like oysters purifying our tide, I look to nature’s quiet alchemy as my guide. This process—transitional, interstitial, liminal—holds the breath before transformation. With a little bit of duct tape and some Elmers glue the blueprints of this world emerge not despite its brokenness, but because of it.
Emerging from the interplay of my individual studio practice and the synchronicities I encounter in my communal practice, I navigate and reconfigure the systems, architectures, and landscapes that oppress, control and confine. Rooted in the frameworks of magical realism, my work conjures thresholds—conceptual and material mappings that chart pathways through our fraught panoptic landscapes toward alternative realities, new beginnings, and renewed freedoms. Using mythological and metaphorical symbols, visualizations in my work disrupt and reimagine space, time, structures, and systems, bending the rigid contours of power into fluid sites of possibility both through play and detailed observation.
