Developed with emerging artist Kankel Jadon, this indoor installation is a suspended mobile of fish crafted from recycled aluminum cans. Spiraling forms shimmer with motion, yet their movement is constrained by six-pack plastic rings, highlighting the silent devastation of marine ecosystems. Caught in the Current transforms discarded materials into animate forms, revealing how life becomes entangled in the consequences of human convenience.
Sculptural bench developed in collaboration with young artist Allura Rayford.
The Blossom Sphere was designed specifically for a private collector. The sphere present a floreal motif with plants and flowers from the DMV area.
The Hexa-Habitat is a sculpture result of a beautiful collaboration with artist Dehejia Butler. The sculpture combines the clean aesthetic of metal with the natural feeling of wood and clay to create an environment that will protect and help pollinators.
Two sculptural bus shelters, designed and fabricated by artist Davide Prete, have been installed in Hyattsville, enhancing the streetscape in Baltimore Ave and Jefferson St.
Designed with both function and aesthetics in mind, the shelters offer a dynamic experience for commuters. Their curved metal framework incorporates a standard seat, a high seat, and a designated wheelchair space, ensuring accessibility for all. On the left side, lighter structural elements allow for clear visibility of oncoming buses while providing shelter from wind and rain.
Inspired by the flowing forms of Art Nouveau, the design offers a translucent blue roof that filters sunlight and rain while allowing commuters a partial view of the sky, creating a moment of connection with the environment as they wait.

Functional Seating Sculpture Convivio
Scale:8’x6’x10’ Budget: -
Medium: Aluminum
Year: 2015
Location: Milan, Italy
Convivio, inspired by the Roman tradition of reclining while dining, explores the relationship between the human body, nourishment, and gathering through a continuous sculptural seating form. Its title evokes a shared meal—a moment when eating becomes an opportunity for conversation, exchange, and connection.
The form connects two straight lines: one vertical, representing the standing body, and one horizontal, representing the body lying down. Between these two extremes, a continuous transformation traces the spectrum of human postures, from standing and leaning to sitting, reclining, and lying down. The sculpture gives physical expression to these transitions, inviting people to find their own position within its changing contours.
Composed of closely spaced aluminum elements, Convivio unfolds from a tall, upright profile into a low, reclining surface. Repetition gives the work a flowing rhythm, while the spaces between its elements allow light and shadow to animate its surface. As viewers move around it, the sculpture shifts between apparent solidity and transparency, revealing new relationships between line, volume, and the human body.
Created for Siamo quel che mangiamo? Sostenibilità e arte, curated by Antonio d’Avossa in Milan, Convivio participated in the cultural dialogue on food and sustainability leading toward Expo Milano 2015 and its theme, Feeding the Planet, Energy for Life.
Through its integration of sculpture and function, Convivio invites an understanding of nourishment that includes social life: the time, space, and relationships we share. The work transforms seating into a place of encounter, connecting individual bodily experience with the communal ritual of coming together.
