Artist Statement
Self-existence has always been the focus I attempt to
explore in both my 3-D and 2-D work. Being aware of our existence, life's
biggest bound is time; therefore, time is what life is made out of. It's the
bound that defines our individual freedom, perfection, and understand our
relational attachments. All in all, my concept of time revolves around that
balance of thoughts and actions motivated by current or future uncertainties
that contribute to identity.
However, there is no absolute truth to accepting a perfect identity if one’s identity changes constantly throughout existence. We are born and we die, in between is the time that offers bounds and attachments that must be understood closely for self-perfection. My work usually renders ideas of my concept with surreal imagery as way for my audience to separate familiar forms of physical realities from the states of emotions that manifest into our spirit; which all together affect the way we maintain our spirit and survival. I feel that over the years my work aims to gather an audience that can relate to my idea of pursuing self-perfection through questions that represent absolute answers.
The personal attachment rendered in my art has led me to explore self-defining questions my viewers can relate to; simply questioning their own attachment. How do you want to be remembered? If it is to make your "attached" loves ones proud of you, will you yourself be proud? What do you want for yourself so that you alone can be truthfully proud of yourself, as well as you're loved ones proud of you? The point to expand questions is to remind oneself the significance of change from knowing who we are and how we affect not only ourselves, but the attachments that surround and define us.
