Statement
- My art allows my imagination to show itself in a tangible form. It gives me the freedom to address my vision and perspective unlike any other method of communication. It is important for my work to provide the viewer with a unique experience. I thoroughly enjoy creating unique photography and as well as innovative film-making based on my own view of abstract ideas. Through my work, I hope to open people's minds to new ways of thinking and conceptualizing life and reality. It is my aspiration and dream to develop imagery that is pleasing and exciting in ways never seen before. I take pleasure in delving into the psychological aspects of the human mind and embracing all of its ideology. If my work has moved you, the viewer, in anyway, then I believe I have accomplished my goal.
