My goal is for the audience to feel the weight of the experience how loud quiet can be,the struggle not just to live but to simply just BE.

I have a hard time committing to a type of art, it doesn’t just fit one check box. I like to twist life and give a surreal touch, no matter the medium. I tell stories however I can.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration comes from watching how life bends. Drawn to moments that are just off putting or the details of a strangers story, threads I can bring together for world building and character development. If something makes me ask myself “what if it were different “ that’s where my storytelling lives
What would you do with $25,000?To be completely transparent, family comes first. I’d use a part to help them. As they are an essential part of my work. There safety and stability is very important so they can be taken care of. With what remains of fund a multimedia story telling project I have in mind exploring the immigrant experience through an unreal and surreal lens. Time and resources go even further when your loved ones aren’t worrying. I want to build this body of work from a place of security.
