Artist Statement
Tension between beauty and darkness in my work
represents our life struggles with progress, and the
choices we make. The balance between nature’s
perfect wonders and the effects of its ravaging
forces spark my work. My Entropy series reacts to
our society, our environment, and to cultural values
put on trial. As I translate ideas into art forms,
I aim to promote awareness, or plant seeds for
reflection and change.
