What does it mean to be human?
How strange it is to be anything.
My art work is an ongoing reflection on my observations of life and what it means to be human. Everyday I am amazed, perplexed, troubled and fascinated by things I perceive around me. People have always interested me because I am continually contemplating myself and the people around me in terms of our context in this world - specifically our interconnections.
This web of interconnection contains intrinsic value that will enable us to transcend, to prevail, to innovate in whatever circumstances arise. My work is a visual consideration of the connections we share universally such as birth/death, physicality, questioning of purpose, struggle, creativity, and love.
I began investigating the unity of humans on a purely biological level; more specifically I looked at the human brain and the neural networks of cells and impulses that control it. As a result of these works I began to consider the ways in which humans relate to each other beyond the physicality of our bodies. Currently, my work is more involved with connections on a spiritual level and the metamorphic journeys that weave us together - where we come from, where we are, and where we are going.
