Artist‘s Statement
Most of the stories I have written were a product of or inspired by my own experiences, even if it was in a minor way. Each of them feel personal, purely out of the work I put into them. Although the pieces I have written have their own messages, I want the reader to interpret the story through their lens and create their own takeaways.
