Curiosity activates purpose. 

I submerge myself in the research;  I breathe it, I wear it, I bear it, until the contrariety between the work and myself becomes transparent. 

Invent nothing, receive everything. 

I am merely a conduit for inspiration to pass through; deepening my exploration and experimentation processes allows it to transform into something more than me.

It doesn’t matter what, but it matters how.

I embrace the constant evolution and dichotomy of creation and destruction by challenging normative formats, questioning perspective, and approaching radical themes intrepidly. 

Collaboration is compassion.

I am an artist, but I am human. To be human is to be curious, and our curiosities lead to discoveries. Let us feed the world with our discoveries, so that we may endlessly grow alongside each other with our art.
