My work explores the intersections between Eastern and the Western worldviews, their different ways of thinking. In connecting the cyclical understanding of history gained from the Western Englightment thinkers with that of nirvana from Buddhism and Hinduism in Eastern philosophy, one is able to grapple with these concerns through the application of seemingly disparate tones and methods in art. Through science a globalized world has advanced in unprecedented fashions, changing our world broadly for the better in many ways. While these scientific and technological advancements have driven humanity into the 21st Century, religion and philosophy still play a crucial role in formulating the cornerstones of human understanding of itself and its place within the broader continuum of past and present.
