ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Art for me,
Is not just
A passion
But a compulsion
Not only how I see
But a reflection of me.
When the sun makes a shadow
When the earth grows a tree
I can too. It empowers me.
It’s not just what I see
But a reflection of me
My way to see
Differently.
Why
Why create? Why do art?
To see. To try.
Rethink. Refocus.
Modify status.
Manipulate surplus.
Rediscover purpose.
Change from contrary
To extraordinary
Making is a testament
That we’re human
We can.
Sometimes not intentionally
Often accidentally
Make old new
And new old, too
And all because
That’s what artists do.
