I feel...
Unconfined, empowered to explore unknowns.
Connective, reflecting on interwoven patterns.
Kinetic, finding clarity through movement.

In an inspiring course of spring 2023,
I was asked to consider what is shaping my tastes:
I was asked to consider what is shaping my tastes:
“Movement
shapes my tastes. When I walk or run, I see things and I add them to my
internal catalog. In New Mexico, the clay shaped my taste. In Carpinteria, the tides. People shape my tastes, especially when they are intentional. In New
York, quantity shaped my tastes. My grandmother’s spirit lives on in me and she
has shaped my tastes. Music shapes it. I become acquainted with the cultures I
prefer through music. In Buffalo, rust has shaped my tastes. I like tasting
every food I can. I decided I don’t need to order chicken feet again. Buildings
definitely shape my taste. I decide what types of buildings I like when I
travel. Buildings help me decide if I have a taste for a city. In the Rockies, the soul of stone shaped my taste. There are so many beautiful stones, but some are for me. My
parents have shaped my taste so much. They are designers too. I learned to
taste through them. I learned to see on my own though. Vision shapes my taste.”
