Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

The art that I create can be described as provocative. I would say that many people view my art as madness, and others see it as brilliance. I, however, believe that both are needed to create a statement. I interweave statements against the current and previous agendas. I force my generation to question what they know to be fact, and ask them to elevate above the fiction. I am an artist of many talents. I utilize art, dance, music, videos, and photography to represent who I am at my core.

Where do you find inspiration?

I derive my inspiration from my pain, my family's, and the artists that came before me. I find it essential to study and utilize the previous work of the greats for the future. For if I desire to be great, I must understand how those before me became who they are. I enjoy the style of the 2000s, the punk rock chic era. I alchemize the pain I've experienced by turning it into power. I find it necessary to use my voice to speak for the people who never got a chance to be who they wanted to be.

What would you do with $25,000?

I plan on using the money to inspire people to be their ideal selves. I am currently a student enrolled at Boston University. I would use the money to pay for my education and future educational endeavors that I can't afford currently. I also have many artistic projects in mind that I am working on with other friends. I plan to create a short film and a website for art and quantum physics. I have also been working to find cures for mental and physical ailments.
