I express art because words aren’t as vivid as the pain and joy within me. I know no other way to let it out rather than to live it.

I am man of intimate and deep arts. Art that connects people to the pain, love, ugly, and beauty of the world. The Art that shows people the truth. I feel my art in my photography, and one day I would love to create films with a message to those who have been called to that truth. I feel the art of boxing has become an intimate and ancient dance in my life. Lastly, poetry has sparked this awakened hunger in my heart. To share words that we really feel and that gives meaning in life.
Where do you find inspiration?I find it this calling I feel. A call for deeper understanding and connectivity. In the martyrs that loved and died in their passion for life and art. In the knowing that we all suffer in the never ending spiraling mind. To experience so much pain and make something beautiful. Those are the real human being that make the world feel alive again, even in such a collapsing time. What’s wrong with looking at the stars when the world’s on fire. What inspires me is how deep can I really go?
What would you do with $25,000?I will put as much of that as I can into making this feeling within me a lifestyle. Whether that moving somewhere closer to nature, getting film classes, getting a camera to help me on my journey of film and cinematography, or traveling the world to connect and create more art. I would hope in this lifestyle I can inspire those human beings to a knowing that we all can love deeper in our pain. I want to make art life, with loving and supporting people lost and hurting all around the world.
