Explanation: This piece is made from car miniatures representing a highway around a city. It is supposed to show to viewers how dull can a routine of city life can be. How boring could life eventually become when lived without passion for work and how repeating it can become. The road is made from wax, and cars from plastic. Few words: This piece was inspired by the daily routine of people who have a job for which they have no interest in. A job for which they feel like robots in a row, driving for work every day back and forth without meaning , without interest, without passion, without hope. Only black and grey. The only oxygen to breathe comes from trees between traffic lanes. Back and forth without meaning. Robots in a row. Black and grey every day.

ARTIST STATEMENT: When I begin a new work of art, I am at peace. My ideas are not so much premeditated but rather led within each moment. I will think on a subject that is important to me for some time but it is within the moment of creation that the idea truly unfolds into something bigger. As a commentary on critical social issues, my work is intended to invoke conversation and a deeper exploration of their very existence and their ongoing effects on the world around us. These topics may include mental health, warfare, food & health, immigration, drug addiction or environmental destruction. I may also reflect on topics such as love, music and the struggles of life and transitions. My work examines the intricate details of each issue and the cyclical, hypocritical nature of our society at large. Each piece is very specific and has an expanded meaning and a deeper message. Every detail you see adds to that overall message. My belief is that you can like something that looks beautiful but you can only love something that means something deeper to you and emotionally touches you. It is at this moment when the artist and the viewer can walk through the same thought patterns. When I am deciding on a piece and the materials to use, it is serendipitous and is connected only to the moment of creation. I believe that each technique and each material has a right place and a right time and each one becomes the bridge that allows me to express my thoughts in a unique and creative way.
