• Artist Statement

  The artwork “spoonfed” represents how social media manipulates the way that we talk and view the world around us. Social media has become especially prevalent in the school, driving the ideas and words students incorporate into their daily lives. In this way, social media has become its own, powerful organism, feeding the minds of humanity at large. As social media becomes ever more powerful, humanity must begin to recognize the extent to which it changes the way those who consume its texts and posts perceive themselves, others, and the world we live in; and how it changes culture, politics, and, inevitay, the course of history.

• Creative Statement

  Being creative in art means using the mediums that are chosen in a unique way that is authentic to who the artist or creator is and would like to represent.
