I, I had so many questions, but so that was in the fall, but then I also had panel presentations at a sculpture conference.

There were multiple things in the, in the fall that was busy.

And I think I was going on network, like into the portal almost every day, just asking questions or interacting with people.

And, but, but the strategy call.

with you happened like a couple of weeks before the Italy trip.

And it really helped me feel grounded because I felt like no matter what happened, I had already committed to it.

And so I'm just going to do my best and things will fall into place.

Sometimes as artists, I feel like we just need to talk to another artist or someone who knows about all of these.

Yeah.

And just kind of have like the support to like see it from different angles and then kind of get a little feedback.

Yeah.

And then it feels much better, I think.

So thank you for that.

It was like the best art experience

I've ever had, I think.

And I think it's because it was so challenging too.

The curator I worked with, she was very generous.

It was almost like an unofficial art residency program or something.

She allowed me to use this large balcony to create a sculpture with the trees and plants from the Roman park.
