Artist‘s Statement
Throughout my process in creating these pieces, I really wished for my readers to have a better understanding of the things I put together in my head. I really wanted them to view my love for apocalyptic, sci-fi genres. As well as the sarcastic and realistic nature of my characters and the plot. Thus, the social political aspects of my work are also heavily present in my works, which I wish for my readers to relate to.
