I feel quite lucky to have settled in New York in such a way that most of my life is within walking distance. The only exception is @sculpturespacenyc —this large studio is the one place I’m willing to commute to Queens for four times a week. With my solo exhibition approaching, I’ve been gradually moving my works to Manhattan, and—being, well, time-efficient—I often transport them on the subway without packing them up. One day, I’ll definitely get around to creating wearable sculptures.

I’ve always loved sharing music, and lately I’ve been playing a lot in NYC, so I’m putting my favorites into mixes. I just uploaded three new ones to SoundCloud.com/mozgo and I’ll be updating every week or two. Follow along if you want the fresh drops

Tell any Burner it’s your first time and you’ll hear “Welcome home,” usually followed by a hug. From there, a 14-hour crawl at the gate and three straight days of rain stop feeling like hassles and start feeling like the point—shared grit that pulls you closer to your friends. Add the gift culture and radical acceptance, and you get something rarer: a priceless sense of reconnection with your inner kid and the altruist who still believes in social change.
Veterans will say the consumer vibe is louder now—Burning Man as attraction and content playground—but to me there’s no sense this 77,000-person social experiment has failed. The playa provides!

Drifting Bloom
Another piece from the Aegean Reliquary series.
This form emerged from a memory of Aegean seaweed—those drifting travelers that rise each July, unfurling their limbs like wings through sunlit currents.
Glazed 3D printed stoneware, handbuilt stoneware, tin
13 x 11 x 12 in
Grateful to @sculpturespacenyc for the chance to explore ceramic 3D printing.

In 2022, as a new chapter in my life unfolded, I became a collector—gathering what I found on the seabed. Month by month, my dives grew deeper until I began bringing up sea urchin skeletons, alien in form and as fragile as eggshells. These dives became an essential part of my life on the Aegean coast and profoundly shaped my approach to material.
To preserve my collection, I began creating cradles—reliquaries for these fragile relics.
This piece is one of them, among my first large-scale ceramic works. It traveled from the shores of Turkey and is now in its final days on view at Plato Gallery (through Aug 23) in New York.

My first essay has just been published on the @odra.platform —a reflection on theological intuitions tied to the development of AI. I wrote it a year ago to capture a moment in my ongoing research for the Holy Tech project. Today, I’d find it harder to sketch such utopian horizons, yet I can still imagine they remain possible—perhaps on a longer timeline.
