I create to tell stories never imagined before or if they already exist, reimagine them. I want to remind the world of humanity.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love to make visual art through photographs tell stories just through one photo.
Where do you find inspiration?In this experience we call life. I can be having a small conversation with a friend they can say a small sentence and a light in my mind would go off and show me a thousand images at once and I’ll select a couple and transform it into a photoshoot concept and bring it to reality.
What would you do with $25,000?I carry a lot of responsibility and weight coming from a low income single parent household. I’m a first generation daughter and I sometimes find myself working two jobs a full time and part time and still feel behind. My creativity has allowed me to survive many things and followed by my faith I can tell many stories and create beautiful art. I would invest towards my family’s future and create room for stability, peace .
