I try to take photos that make you perceive the world in a different light. People have trouble seeing the good, so I take pictures of it.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I like to find art in unconventional places. Say you look at a rusted trash can with some weeds around the base. Normally people would only see the trash, but I like to take a moment to see that even though they are weeds, there is nature trying to thrive in an environment not fit for it. Almost like a parallel of life in some aspects. We may not always have the right environment to grow in, learning to evolve and adapt to the space given shows true character
Where do you find inspiration?In everything, look around. People watch, look at things you normally wouldn’t think to look at. There is beauty in everything. What people define as “beauty” will always be different. But if you yourself think it’s beautiful, that is all that matters.
What would you do with $25,000?First I would make sure i have enough to live comfortably for awhile. I would then give some to my mom, she is a single mother and a teacher. She makes do with the cards she has been dealt. However I’d love to help her and show her appreciation for everything she has done for me over the years. I would also like to donate some to cancer research. My uncle passed away from cancer before I was born and my step mother was diagnosed with cancer as well.
