Embarking on this journey to Italy and Greece holds immense promise for my ongoing photography and art project. The ability to capture fleeting moments and transform them into evocative expressions of peace, happiness, or even catalysts for change and determination is the ultimate fulfillment of my creative endeavor. As artificial intelligence increasingly shapes visual creation, grounding my art in authentic life experiences—moments immortalized on film—becomes even more crucial.

My deliberate choice of Italy and Greece stems from their rich cultural contrasts and the profound impact of ancient history that continues to shape the lives of their inhabitants. Standing amidst these storied landscapes, I can’t help but reflect on the countless lives that once inhabited these very spaces through the centuries. Through my photography and art, I aspire to share these poignant moments, inviting viewers to connect emotionally and find solace or inspiration.

While I’ve already covered a substantial portion of the expenses, I still need to address incidental costs and maintain certain payments back home in the United States during my absence.
