Artist‘s Statement
Through my work I feel like I strive to figure out self identity and accepting my background and who I am even though it can come with stereotypes and ignorant comments. It is important for me to figure out myself as I grow and be comfortable with who I am because that is the experience of life. I hope to show others that finding yourself can be tough and brutal but you will grow to love the process and in the long run enjoy the journey.
