"What truly catches my attention is when art has the 
opportunity to ignite a positive change. I want to
inspire others to persevere through their own battles
as well as help propel my audience into learning that
they, too, have their own visual voice. Having a

creative outlet while growing up completely
shifted not only my mindset but continues to help me
navigate my own life to this day. For the first time,
I was able to recognize the power of art and th
importance of mental health awareness."​

"As a Filipino-Italian gay woman, I believe that art is one of the few outlets to connect with one another across race, class, sexuality, gender identity, and religion. With a combination of topics such as racism within the AAPI (Asian Pacific Islander) Community, gay rights and expression." Pietrocola's work also covers topics such as sexual assault, how to cope with it, as well as mental health awareness.
