I focus on visual impact to attract the attention of the audience, bringing a message to the world. Additionally, I do this to create consciousness and importance for the protection of our ecosystems in our planet.
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration stems from the sight of a beautiful arrangement of corals on the ocean floor that I saw as a child. It is the fondest memory of my childhood, therefore it had the most impact upon my importance of the planet, especially the oceans. Because of this memory, I was very sad and worried that the corals were bleaching and dying, so I wanted to do something to bring relevance to that. When water makes contact with my fontanelle, I receive visions of the “guardians.”
What would you do with $25,000?With these funds, I would like bring my message to the most places possible. These assets will be of great importance to the growth of my movement, and attract even more attention to my work. My greatest wish is so that my art may become a means of communication, and a symbol of the conservation and protection of ecosystems around the planet.
