4 World-renowned artists were invited to create art alongside NASA commercial astronauts during a microgravity flight. I was selected as one of the artists. This is my journey. 👨🏽🚀🚀📸
Just 2 weeks before being invited, I had unexpectedly lost my job at Quantum NFT Art Gallery. That crushed me. I had poured so much of myself into helping launch that gallery and building the community. Silently fighting through panic attacks to show up and host events. And to have snatched away…bruh. I was hurt.
My Faith is strong, I believe when one door closes, another one opens. It was a great honor to have been invited to participate in this experience! One of the best times of my life.
Myself, Gabe Weis, Dr. Sian Proctor, and Rob Prior were invited, alongside NASA astronauts, on this Zero Gravity flight to experiment with making art while weightless. The Uplift Aerospace team flew me out to Cape Canaveral, FL where I met the crew and other artists.
As the only photographer, I felt great pride in documenting this experience. I had to fight through motion sickness but ended up getting some incredible photos that myself and the team were happy with. Knowing the work was being auctioned for Astro Access was also motivating. 4 pieces sold during Art Basel Miami 2022 with 100% of the proceeds being donated!
Nothing is random and everything is happening FOR YOU. I am grateful for my journey and all that comes with it. I’m grateful for healing and resiliently pushing forward, continuing to create!
