Artist Statement
I create art out of necessity, not out of choice. I don't typically cry during sad films or seek solace to alleviate my despair.My emotions rarely surface, but I still need to release that burden like everyone else in the world. At a young age, I discovered that I could capture my darkness, my light, and my nostalgic longing through a lens and focus them onto paper.
Arranging these collections of photons on a surface other than my own keeps me grounded and present, preventing me from spiraling into a dark corner.
My art is my way of saying I love you, I hate you, I'm happy, or indifferent today. I pursue these shadows and light for selfish reasons of self-preservation, hoping that you, the viewer, might share some of the emotion of my life.
