I create artworks as antidotes to personal challenges and difficult experiences within my life, to bring attention to these particular issues. Some of these challenges include mental illness, struggles with racial identity, belonging and the social friction that comes with it. If something bothers me or plagues me, I tend to make work about it. While these works tend to be introspective, they aren’t devoid of humour. They invite the viewer to examine their own social assumptions and biases, or possibly to commiserate in a shared experience.
