• Artist Statement

  Our world is vast and full of diversity. Even among humans, we see a variety of races and cultures, much like the different hands shown in this painting. Though separated by distance, culture, and experience, connection can still exist. In this painting, the strings show one way of a connection: a shared goal. The will to fulfill this goal gets woven around everyone, pulling and tangling people together. When these individuals finally come and work together despite the differences, their collective goal is finally achieved, represented by the white star in the painting.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity is being able to create unusual ideas from everyday life and expressing it in an original matter.
