Artist Statement
I am interested in every form of propaganda.
I use exaggeration, humor, and juxtaposition in my work. Through this act, sometimes, I come across a pathway, a pattern, a logic that reveals to me why they fascinate me in the first place and how they have conditioned me.
The work I make is largely a response to trying to understand how to live here. For me, art has always been a response, an act, a force that helps me make sense of myself and the world around me. It doesn’t begin as a research project or an idea to investigate; it begins with a moment of dissonance, when I realize something is off. From there, I explore it, seeking a way to comprehend the situation and justify my existence here.
