“These realms are explored through assessment of myself, my relationship with the world, and though deepening my understanding of the world by study, evaluation, and instruction from mentors. This, coupled with an internal inquisition to deepen the interpersonal relationship within myself develops an artist eager to learn, grow, and wholly invest in creative pursuits. My work has explored ideas regarding empathy, human nature, as well as human’s ego, self-fulfillment, and human’s role in functioning as either a part of the separations in society or a tool for the collective.”
