I used a digital camera, and Photoshop for minor touch ups while also using it to make it into a triptych.

• Artist Statement

  My artwork is about my father’s auto shop and the significant items he meticulously arranges in his workplace providing a clear sense of identity. While serving as a vigilant reminder of the hardships our family had to get through to come this far.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity for me means to have a bond with yourself allowing you to use past experiences, culture, and identity to produce bodies of work. In this case since I mostly work in photography my work differs from my peers in terms of composition, and our interpretation of art.
