Artist‘s Statement
My work this year was deeply focused on a reflection of myself, my identity and my idealized future. When viewing the term “college essay” or “cover letter’, it’s easy to lose focus on the aspects of individualism each piece of writing has in favor of keeping up professional appearances. But for me, both works heavily focused on how I viewed myself and how I would like the reader to perceive me. In all, I wanted to convey the importance of being yourself no matter the setting you’re in.
