Professional Skater
After a lifetime in the competitive world, Gabriella now performs both solo and partnered choreography, bringing her artistry to life in ice shows around the world
Babylon.
"I made this piece thinking about what lingers after something collapses: the weight of ruins, the echoes they leave behind. Babylon was once a symbol of power, now it’s a story, a memory, a question. What do we do with the remains of something that shaped us but was never ours to hold? Maybe ruins aren’t just endings but spaces to rebuild, to reimagine. For now, I’m sitting with the echoes, letting the dust settle, and seeing what still stands.”
