I create art because I love art. Art makes me complete. Photography is one of the art mediums where I can express how I see the world.

I love different types; drawing, painting, spoken word, writing music, but also photography. I think that photography captures a space in time where thoughts, feelings, and emotions are at the present moment and preserves them as they are: honest, reflective - a piece of history that reminds us of our human experience.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration on everybody that I encounter with. Anyone who I encounter and have a meaningful conversations with always has something inspirational to teach me. It’s an experience that I experience day to day with different people from different cultural backgrounds, beliefs, and perspectives.
What would you do with $25,000?I’ll use some to pay for my student loans, and some to help my friends and family in need, and some to give to my homeless friends, and some to different charities concerned about addiction, mental health, and children in need both here and abroad.
