artist STATEMENT.
Firstly I was never predestined to become an artist. Choices, decisions, discussions and encounters with others (humans or otherwise) in my life have dictated my here and now.

I am not so much of an antiestablishment but I do find comfort in indirectly criticizing it and speak for the guy in the periphery.

I also believe that we are a people of origin and a people of destiny both of which we can not fully comprehend, there for we are in a constant state of metamorphosis in pursuit of that understanding, that means we haven’t fully mustered or understood the purpose of our existence. Unfortunately that doesn’t stop us from pouncing on the little we might know about ourselves and use it to claim supremacy over the rest. I wish we can all “come down to earth”, hoping we all know where our landing pads are. My work also seeks to appeal to and promote the alternative reality, promote or develop the intersections of two perceived different cultures, which in turn becomes the focus and all that's left in the periphery becomes of less importance and appeal.
