Exhibition Statement:
I have faith in the ability of art to initiate contemplation, foster discussions, and drive change. Through my art, I delve into profound themes inspired by human emotions, societal intricacies, ingrained beliefs, and economic marginalization. While my work often addresses topics such as race and class, the underlying essence always revolves around our shared humanity. Art has the power to shape society and challenge the status quo. By creating work that challenges perceptions and encourages introspection, I hope to contribute to a larger cultural conversation about our relationship with each other. I believe that art has the power to bring people together and foster a sense of community, and I strive to create work that reflects this belief.
