Over the summer (2025) Professor Brita d'Agostino attended the Nocefresca Artist Residency in Milis and traveled through Sardinia, Italy conducting her research research.

The project, titled Well Wishes, developed during this time is a series of virtual offerings tracing a personal and symbolic journey through the Sardinian landscape. It explores place, spirituality, and the divine feminine through site‑responsive ritual.  Each offering originates from a natural object, drawn from three distinct collections: familial, personal, and elements gathered locally. Transformed through photogrammetry into 3D forms and reimagined in vivid colors, these objects become virtual votive gestures, temporarily placed in the landscape through augmented reality technology and documented as ephemeral installations. The offerings hover near sacred wells, fountains, natural pools, coastal edges, and parklands—sites long associated with healing, renewal, and communal care. Through these fleeting interventions, personal histories, ancestral memory, and the spirit of place intertwine.
