WORK STATEMENT:
As an artist I want to try and resonate with others. I feel like my job is to notice something in between the lines of everyday. And then present that as a beginning of a sentence so that the dialogue could start. My works a lot of times can have a pessimistic tone or even nihilistic ideas, even though I’m not a supporter of that philosophy. I presume my works tend to be like that is because I find comfort in disaster, sadness, absurd I feel like using negative emotions helps me to understand life as well it’s a way to speak my message in an exaggerated way so that my message would have stronger impact.
