My Artist Statement


       As an artist, I like to express my creativity through photography. Expressing myself through photography is like expressing a part of me that cannot be shown through words. These words, in turn, show in my pictures, but I strive for more than just mere superficial feedback from my audience. I intend to tell stories, display meaning in them, and do this with a level of ambiguity. I want people to look at my photos and look past what is shown and create their own meanings and to form their own type of narrative. There's something about being immersed in a universe that is outside the realm of reality that infatuates me. That is why as an artist, I immerse myself in other realms of art, such as music and paintings to satisfy my creative palettes in ways photography cannot do. In turn, these help fuel my visual creativity, finding ways to create photos based on different emotions and moods. Photography is an ever growing passion of mine that continues to change in perspective, not only displaying a gradual maturity throughout my oeuvre, but displaying a gradual maturity that I continue to live through as I experience new events, people, and art.
