• Artist Statement

  A short story about someone struggling with self alienation and learning to grapple with self acceptance. It is written to show the futility of contentment and the duality of identity, hating yourself but being unable to escape who you are or who you have become. I wrote this to show the reader and the character that despite this everlasting existential crisis, don’t surrender to the rejection of self, letting something you don’t want consume you but rather, grasp the ability to make it better and make a change.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity simply means a way of self expression, something that gives an artist no limits. It can be depicted in different forms of art and no method is wrong. Creativity is just representing yourself in forward or abstract demeanors, to further make use of resources.
