Artist Statement
In this current body of work, the portraits are part of a self realization that we are, in the end, and currently, the manifestation of what we've done, where we've been, and how we've lived. Each black and white image is an interview, a memory which gives some hint at the light and or dark murkiness that lurks behind each of the self portraits.
