"My motivation for expressing myself artistically stems from an inherent desire to understand my own existence. For me, artistic process is a philosophical investigation to at once understand life and art itself. I use art as a medium to express my inner and outer world, and to represent both my consciousness of the world around me and my imaginative subconscious."
