If you had one million dollars, what would you do with it?

Last month, I walked through the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, and its beauty has not left me since. The architecture, the light, the way the spaces embraced both art and people—it was more than a museum. It was a poem in stone and glass, a living testament to how design can stir the soul.

Returning to Vancouver, I carried that inspiration with me. I have purchased two acres of land here, and I am determined to design a museum of equal grace. Not a replica, but a place where art and architecture meet to create a sanctuary for reflection, dialogue, and discovery. A space where the city can breathe in beauty and where people can feel connected to something larger than themselves.

Today I ask myself—and others—a question:If you had one million dollars, what would you do with it?

For me, the answer is clear. I would build this museum. I would invest in a place where art is not only displayed but lived, where the walls themselves speak of imagination and care. Yet I wonder what others would choose. Perhaps a journey across the world, a home by the sea, or a gift for someone beloved.

This question is not about money alone. It is about values, about dreams, about the essence of what we hold dear.

And so, I continue. With pencil and paper, with vision and resolve, I sketch the outlines of a museum that will one day rise beneath Vancouver’s sky.
