Artist Statement
Unable to be here or there, but in an endless state of transition
without a clear destination—this is where I am situated.
My work is an investigation into how I view myself and my interactions
with the surrounding environment. This contemplation
offers me a way to reshape a definition of myself, both internally
and externally. I do not want to be defined by my identity and the
natural constructs that come along with it; I want to transcend
this. That is where I want to end up!
