"I’ve always highly resonated with Nina Simone’s reflection that “an artist's duty is to reflect the times.” As an artist, I aim to tell stories: stories of those who are marginalized, stories that offer complex dialogue about the complexities of human existence, stories that make an effort to equalize the level of understanding in a polarizing society. I remain curious about the body’s ever growing capability to serve as a container for our life’s personal history and how we can research and use that to create a means of expression."
