Filippo Brunelleschi: Cosimo de' Medici directly supported Brunelleschi in completing the dome of Florence Cathedral (Santa Maria del Fiore), built between 1420 and 1436. This dome represents the pinnacle of Renaissance engineering: it was constructed without traditional flying buttresses, using a double-shell structure and innovative hoisting machines. Cosimo funded Brunelleschi's proposal in the 1418 competition, ensuring its victory. This not only solved a century-old architectural challenge but also symbolized Florence's ambition and technological revival. The dome became an iconic feature of the city's skyline and enhanced the Medici family's image as "guardians of the city."

When the paintings on the canvas are combined with the layers of ephemera such as map fragments, ledger paper, hymn books, poems, out-of-date science book pages and pages from children's encyclopedias, a lush textured surface is produced. This is a way of incorporating other voices and viewpoints within the image, a mixture of nostalgia and the possibility of establishing countless connections. These paintings invite viewers to observe carefully and to experience them differently depending on the viewer's distance.
