Art gives me a voice that isn’t limited by where I am or who I am—it connects, communicates, and resonates instantly.

I enjoy creating art that feels immediate and simple, but carries a layered message. Work that tells a story, sparks curiosity, and invites people to reconsider what they think they know—offering a different perspective through something visually accessible.
Where do you find inspiration?I find inspiration in tension—anger, everyday problems, and the need to solve them. Curiosity drives me to question what feels unfair or unresolved, and injustice often becomes the starting point for ideas that I translate into visual form.
What would you do with $25,000?I would invest the funds into expanding my art practice to reach a wider audience—scaling production, improving materials, and creating more public-facing work so the ideas can live beyond a single space.
