Artist Statement
I continuously strive towards a forceful intimacy with viewers of my work, persistently questioning our communal pursuit of happiness. It is paramount for me to reveal flawed behavior that presents malfunction through portraits of desperation and loneliness. I ask: Is the desire to find connection simply a self-fulfilling narrative towards inevitable failure? Can I, along with a growing relationship with the participant demonstrate and embody this cycle through the duality of fantasy and reality? With this, the hope is to achieve an art form that subverts the notion of happiness towards a discovery of its unlawful deception.
