This book brings together artwork that has followed me through seasons of change — pieces filled with memory, color, and meaning. Things I Carry is a hardcover collection created in partnership with Snap Collective, offering a closer look at the stories behind each piece. Preorders are now open, and I’m so excited to share it with you.

Elena Fiorenza Gatti is an independent artist from Chicago, IL. She is passionate about bringing her world of words, animals, color, and people to others. Her work surrounds deep thoughts and insights on her own, as well as others’ experiences with the world. Elena has explored her own mental health, well-being, and dreams within her art and hopes to make others feel less alone, seen, and happy through her pieces.
