I am an art historian and visual artist. Born in the industrial plains of north eastern Italy, I relocated to Chicago in 2017, where I am pursuing a Ph.D. in Art History at the University of Chicago. As an artist, I explore issues of gender identity and bodily discomfort. Constantly aware of my body and the work that goes into its upkeep, I am particularly interested in seeking ways in which artistic labor replicates patterns of love and unlove unto the body of the artworks themselves.
