My goals on Earth are beyond just creating art; they are to spread awareness, innovation, and to define and make sense of the world around me. I use my art as a language and a tool to tap into the inner minds of people who want to make changes in the world. I am interested in spreading positive yet critical images as ways to evaluate human nature, and to speak on social issues that demand attention in our day and age. My work explores the personal and cultural effects and consequences of political issues, such as racial violence and police brutality, while also applying classic philosophical ideas to modern day situations. As an artist, I have discovered a unique balance of skills as well as a structure in the way I create things. In combining my skill set with purpose-driven concepts, I have developed the ability and necessary tools to create powerful and thought-provoking artwork. My ultimate goal is to make unified bodies of art that people can relate to on a universal level as well as to create images that right the wrongs in our society and inspire awareness, higher levels of thinking, and virtuous living.
