since I was a child, whether scribbling on paper or taking photos on my parents' polaroid, creative expression has been a means for me to explore and connect with myself and the world around me. being able to project my instincts and unconscious, as well as thoughts, feelings, memories, etc. through an art object allows me to experience them from a different perspective and understand myself in new ways. over time, my intention in sharing my art has grown into a desire to help foster similar explorations and connections within and between others.
