“In a world where ideas travel faster than consent, the law is not a cage for creativity -it is the agreement that makes creation worth the risk.”

Profile

I work at the intersection of art, history, and law, drawn to the stories that objects/works/artifacts carry and the paths they take through time. My background spans art history, archaeology, the art market, and most recently — intellectual property law. What holds my attention the most are questions of authorship, provenance, and cultural responsibility — how meaning, ownership, and memory are protected and contested. I often dissapear into research tangents or creating.
