ARTIST STATEMENT
My work depicts the opposite things that exist together at the same time: light and dark, balance and counterbalance, warm and cool, up and down, flow and pause, action and reaction, line and dots, clear and vague, merge and separate, push and pull, and yin and yang. Ultimately, my work represents a powerful symbol of transformation and hope, while constantly reminding us that life is fragile and that human dignity is precious.
