Stela





I’m a visual artist and engineer who builds solar-powered machines and sculptural forms from discarded materials, using fieldwork, improvisation, and collaboration to transform waste into a rehearsal for more regenerative and mythic ways of living together.

    Robot Fashion Show 2024

The show was presented at the Clive Davis Institute at New York University in May 2024.
