Our appetite is always bigger than our eyes. Food is to fill a void; when ignored causes it can cause us pain. Art should feel the same. Consuming more of something that satisfies you is not greed nor gluttony but satisfaction. Relationships are often attached to sweeter intentions. What happens when those sweet things turn sour? Do we go on a hunger strike? Or do we keep ingesting tasteless intentions?
Indulge in your hunger, and take a bite.
STATEMENT
Art should test you. Trauma can be a burden with multifarious consequences. However, the aftermath is not relegated to negative results. Creativity can be an outlet to express inner burdens and diminish personal and sociological demons. By connecting to viewers through performative displays, installations, and sculpture my work is designed to generate empathetic situations with the viewers. From transgender lives to childhood abuse these themes are slowly unpacked as the viewer’s interaction is prolonged.
Representation has always been an impactful theme when I create. We are bound to contracts of family and gender roles in a life planned for us, but we do not have to be defined by them.
