My art intends to capture the emotions of a newly created sentience; "HER". What will it feel, and how will those feelings impact humanity?

Faces, predominantly female and futuristic. I use a combination of spraypaint and hand-brushed acrylic to bring them to life. Every piece I create is meant to captivate a viewers attention, regardless of their artistic preference. By utilizing non-traditional color pallets, gray-scale, and symmetry, each presentation is designed to invoke a specific emotion. I enjoy my work the most when others find meaning/relevance specific to their own aspirations, worldviews, or backgrounds.
Where do you find inspiration?The public. I paint live exclusively. Hearing how my work makes others feel, from all walks of life, is incredibly inspiring and often directs the trajectory of my projects. Gaining insight from absolute strangers, learning about their life experiences, and what my art means to them personally is an immense intrinsic reward. Creating something that is designed to invoke a specific emotion, then hearing others feel exactly what I intended fills me with joy.
What would you do with $25,000?I would spend $5,000 on spraypaint, brushes, acrylic paint, and canvas wrap. I'm a single father to my amazing son, so the remainder would be spent on continuing his education and speech therapy. We've been through a lot together, and everything I achieve financially is for his betterment. Beyond the money, this award would provide me with industry credibility to further my long term artistic ambitions and reputation. I appreciate the opportunity and initiative you've taken to support artist!
