• Artist Statement

  I remember being alone through the experiences I went through. I remember feeling disgusting and empty, no one to turn to. I want to bare myself to you, that being my choice. I want you to take it in and feel what I felt. The three poems I share are about a journey and I don’t want to keep reliving it alone. Everyone’s been through something and I’m tired of silence. I don’t want to tip toe around corners trying to hide my pain, I want it to be seen.

• Creative Statement

  To me creativity means freedom and a way to surpass the bounds of social constructs. What’s appropriate in society can’t confine me when I’m in an artistic mindset.
