My work is influenced by my culture, life experiences, and the people around me. I believe there is a responsibility for the artist to create and connect with the viewer through the artwork as a form of communication. The intention of my work is to question stereotypes within society, to receive a better understanding of the commonalities between ideas, respect the differences, and admire the beauty. These issues and stereotypes have forged me into who I am today. They are not meant to celebrate, disapprove, or stand in judgement, they are merely a catalyst of my work.
