Prior to this trip, I was feeling intensely, creatively burnt out. Project after project, I wasn’t creating out of excitement but rather necessity. Now, at the end of this trip, I can say with confidence that I am brimming with excitement and inspiration for my next projects. I am physically drained but mentally rejuvenated.
The Duomo
The first experience that we had that I will never forget was the Duomo visit. Stepping out of that metro station felt like a movie reveal. The way that the light streamed down the stairs of the metro, so bright you couldn’t see anything beyond. So when I casually ascended the stairs, I was floored when my eyes adjusted. I was met with this towering, resplendent building with more detail then I could possibly begin to comprehend; completely awestruck.
Spazio Rossana Orlandi
The Spazio Rossana Orlandi visit was another experience that left butterflies in my stomach. Each room was intoxicating with the amount of beautiful designs it contained. I was floored by both the design of the exhibition spaces and with the actual pieces that each one contained. When we left, I was practically skipping. One day, I hope to buy from and exhibit in the Spazio. (This was the beginning of the end for my camera roll.)
