Creativity as Intentional Transformation

The new principle emerging in my work is creativity.

Transformation can happen passively: through divorce, crisis, loss, ageing, illness, failure, motherhood, professional collapse, or external disruption. But there is a difference between being changed by life and actively participating in one’s own transformation.

Creativity is the faculty that allows us to participate consciously in transformation.

It is not only artistic production. It is the capacity to imagine alternatives, give form to the unformed, create meaning from rupture, and author a life rather than simply inherit one.

A working formulation is:

“Transformation happens to us. Creativity allows us to collaborate with it.”

This principle may become central to the public persona because it links the academic enquiry, the book, City Girls, AI video, screenwriting, and the wider question of self-authorship.

The operative model could be:

Inherited script → rupture → creative re-imagining → new form → lived integration.

This applies to individuals, especially women, but also to culture more broadly.

Albachiara and AI Moving Image

The Albachiara / Vasco Rossi AI video project should be framed as a moving-image experiment rather than a central identity pillar.

It belongs to a wider creative research laboratory around:

  • memory;

  • music;

  • Italian cultural mythology;

  • adolescence;

  • innocence;

  • nostalgia;

  • image-making;

  • authorship;

  • AI as a tool for cinematic imagination;

  • the relationship between personal and collective memory.

The project signals my movement into visual storytelling, but it should not make the website look like an AI content-production site. It should be presented carefully, as an example of experimenting with new tools to explore memory, image and myth.

Possible category:

City Girls

City Girls is a long-form television project and potentially a five-season series.

On the surface, it may appear separate from the art/spirituality enquiry. It is not explicitly about spirituality. It is about women, finance, professional ambition, friendship, motherhood, patriarchy, capitalism, desire, reinvention, crisis, ageing, and identity.

However, the deeper connection is self-authorship and transformation.

City Girls translates complex intellectual and cultural questions into popular narrative form. It explores:

  • patriarchy;

  • capitalism;

  • female ambition;

  • motherhood;

  • personal crisis;

  • friendship;

  • the spiritual void;

  • the lack of adequate models for women’s individuation and self-realisation;

  • the emotional complications of male/female relationships under patriarchal expectations;

  • the cultural and psychological disruption caused by technology;

  • the difficulty of creating a life that is truly one’s own.

The series asks:

What happens when women reach the limits of the roles they inherited and have to create another form of life?

This is directly connected to the larger enquiry into creativity as intentional transformation.

The website should therefore include City Girls, but with the right hierarchy. It should not dominate the site at the expense of the art/spirituality work. It should sit under a section such as Narrative Work, Screenwriting, or Creative Projects.

The framing could be:

“City Girls is a long-form television project exploring female self-authorship, crisis and reinvention across the neoliberal era.”

Or:

“City Girls translates my research into popular narrative form, using women’s lives to explore patriarchy, capitalism, motherhood, desire, crisis, technology and the search for meaning in a spiritually depleted culture.”
