Artist Statement

I am not sure why it is so difficult for people to confront the things that are fucked up in the world. Intellectually, I understand that there are consequences from confrontation that can occur. However, if nothing is done, then the end result is always going to be some type of conformity. That is not proactive. Beneficial steps do not happen from being silent.

As an artist, my primary objective is not only to create aesthetically pleasing pieces, but to forge meaningful connections that delve into themes of identity informed by  unsettling issues that plague society, such as technoscopophilia. I strive to infuse the work with a rich semiotic language, weaving together layers of symbolism and metaphor to provoke thought and evoke emotions. Creating immersive experiences where viewers are invited to engage deeply allows a space for confronting the uncomfortable truths and challenging narratives that permeate our world. Through this dialogue between artist and audience, I aspire to spark critical reflection and inspire action towards awareness, and maybe one day, change.
