• Artist Statement

  I was working on a project where I put my face on the body of someone else. I chose Luke Skywalker from Star Wars because my dad loves Star Wars and showed it to me, and now I love it too. I treasure being able to share things with my parents that are important to them. My dad watched Star Wars with his dad, and now I watch Star Wars with my dad. It's a connection to my dad and to my grandfather.

• Creative Statement

  To me creativity means joy. Creativity has always made me happy because I am making something. I have the capability to make something which is extraordinary. Creativity means being able to be yourself and understanding that you are brave and capable, and with that comes joy.
