Today for #MarshMadness I've painted a dismal swamp stink bug, Chlorochroa dismalia. Its name is not a judgement of character, but a reflection of where it was first found, the Great Dismal Swamp in southeast Virginia. It is one of the rarest shield bugs in North America, with only a handful of known specimens.

One more quick byproduct of my MDEM development: a bivariate map integrating volumetric structural data (SAR) with surface temperature (LST). This approach identifies the exceptionally intensive dissipative role of volumetric vegetation structure (trees and tall shrubs). By accounting for these high-performance cooling elements, we can better understand how they supplement traditional landscaping to enhance the city's overall thermal resilience.

Hello everyone! After a long search for more genuinely social media, I've finally made my way into the Fediverse. I'm an interdisciplinary artist based between Munich and Sicily. Working across canvases, works on paper, room installations and animation, I explore drawing as a form of visual storytelling across a broad spectrum of media. Hoping to connect with some familiar faces from Instagram and find new ones here. 🌍 🧑‍🎨 🫶

A celebration of Palestine’s flora, fauna and topography and a study of how Israel destroys nature as well as the native population in their land-grabbing genocidal mission
