Art as a concept holds authority over the interpretations of modernity. My creations are the questioning of today’s standards.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
Viewers have an inherent propensity to put the value of your work on trial. Despite personal merit often associated with the product of personal creation, my work is of value to me. Vanity, being far from withdrawn in society, is emphasized through portraiture; Creation, vain within itself, encourages a comprehension of existence that can only come from experience. Favorite is a challenging perspective- producing is crucial to development and prestige in the hierarchy of the question of worth.
Where do you find inspiration?My work stems from topics that sit restlessly in my soul- from bellowing voices that go unheard in a climate where power imbalance harshly controls media consumption. Exploring depths of the unknown is frightening, albeit necessary to challenge our comprehension of the world in which we surround ourselves. Extending our feelings and passions is a vital step in the recognition of tumultuous emotions that have yet to be grasped, and a relevant variable in how media is consumed and interpreted
What would you do with $25,000?Finding worth within oneself is not a quantitative assessment. It is a culmination of the change and education absorbed in an experience. Receiving $25000 enables me to help others through the interpretation of my art or through the material forces that I could supply. With the funds to advertise my beliefs, I would reimburse those who sacrificed their own desires for mine, purchase supplementary materials for my classroom, and invest in an environment to continue to emulate change.
