During the quarantine days, I felt compelled to start expressing my ideas on video. Much of the readings & realizations I had developed through writing over the years became more fluid, integrated, and speaking felt like a natural way to express my conceptual work. This began with psychological commentary on culture (much like my blogs), segued into studio tours, and has now evolved into in-studio music performances, coverage of the art world, as well as vlog-style content which features ink drawings from my sketchbook.

Between 2018 - 2019, I completed a long series of art criticism essays for the French journal art-critique.com — even traveling to Paris to cover an exhibit at the Museé D’Orsay. During COVID that came to a screeching halt, and I immersed myself in the painting & recording studios, as well as in writing & personal development. This included a transformation of my identity, emphasizing an integration of Traditional Jewishness. Now, with the East Coast of America opening up again, I am pursuing coverage of the art world with videos.
