People are my
constant inspiration. People and relationships. I am deeply
interested in the everyday rituals and relationships of the average
person. Everything from mundane tasks to heartfelt interactions. For
me, the base of any interesting piece of art is the focus on the
connection of what people go through and who they go through it with.
I tend to gravitate towards art that romanticizes everyday life.
I find that visual
mediums such as film and television best portray this topic
meaningfully, as well as writing. My interest in people carries me to
explore aspects of subculture in my art. I am interested in how
people react to taboo topics and hope to make art that normalizes
them. I have found myself inspired from movies about the mafia, shows
about outlaw life, stories of drug abuse, along with violence induced
scenes.
Lastly, I hope to
be an artist that deals with public issues. I am particularly
interested in highlighting that which is unknown to the public. This
may include types of activism, political issues, and world events. I
think we can tell a lot about a person based on how they react to
these situations. For me, it has always been sarcasm and satire and
therefore I have related better to people who share this view. I plan
to use these tactics in the characters and scenarios I create. I do
not wish for my art to relate to everyone, but I wish that those who
do relate to it, to do so deeply.
