The Art of Occupy Wall Street

in 2011 I went to Zuccotti Park to photograph the Art of Occupy Wall Street.

As a part of my road to minimalism project – I wrote an essay titled “What is it to have?”

Photographs of the Occupy camp at Zuccotti Park and voice by Mirena Rhee.

From Rome at the Saint Peter’s in the Vatican, with the greatest artist that ever lived Michelangelo Il Divino “The Divine” Buonarroti, and truly yours.

My Christmas journey through The Vatican Museums, The Papal Basilica of Saint Peter in the Vatican, and St. Peter’s Square with the Bernini Colonnades. Waiting for the Pope to come out at midnight, climbing the dome and visiting the magnificent interior of St. Peter’s.

I had never seen anything more magnificent in my life than the Vatican Museums and the St. Peter’s in Rome, crowned by the the Bernini Colonnades. The Palace of Versailles paled in comparison.

Isabelle Collin Dufresne – Ultra Violet, an artist and muse to Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol. I photographed her and her work in her studio in New York.

“The Messiah is The Message” is one of Ultra Violet’s works that spoke to me the most. It is a message I firmly believe in – you only bring to the world what is truly in you. The purpose of the life of an artist is to distill a message through their practice, artists are the priests of the unknown which they make known through their work.

Rest in Peace, Ultra.
