ARTIST STATEMENT

My inspiration comes from exploring the paradox of desire of all our attractions and failings as humans I am intrigued by those qualities that make us human My current work explores how different desires affect our lives I believe desires play a huge role in how we feel For example, desiring or wanting something can lead to one getting anxious It can also make people go against one another or even against your own morals and values These desires and wants are what make us human.
