Artist‘s Statement
I find myself to be a person with many thoughts and opinions. Ironically, I sometimes lack the words to articulate what I wish to share in the most expansive way possible. In looking for a solution to this conundrum, I found a new love in video and videography. Images and the emotions they convey have never failed me and have allowed me to communicate my feelings when words fall short. My project, Full Body (Laughter) is a love letter to the black community and my new passion for video and film.
