Whether as a designer of as an artist, I have always been chasing a unique aesthetic. I relish in being able to depict things in my artwork that many are afraid to talk about let alone portray on paper. As a young adult, as we experience real fear, hatred and benign love, we barely acknowledge these experiences or rationalize them for our future growth.

In my artworks, I attempt to convey notions of insecurity and surrealist honesty in reactions and emotions. Exploring human relationships and politically motivated social upheaval.
