I am an unrested indigenous creative that uses my practice to create change, transform thoughts into statements and abolish unjust systems.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I see all artwork as brilliant, regardless of form or function. Every piece, whether graffiti or a child’s drawing, holds its own vessel; waiting for viewers to interpret the meaning. In this way, art is a mirror.
Where do you find inspiration?Inspiration manifests where my soul aligns with a relentless craving for expression. Connection feels like a divine gift, placed before a few; a path not yet cleared. Inspiration finds me, when I listen.
What would you do with $25,000?If I were blessed with the cash, I would paint all the bills. To me, money is paper—a tool to create more works. I would amplify the messaging, ensuring unheard voices are not only acknowledged but felt, I would transform bills into canvases for truth, resistance, and collective expression of change. It would be fun!
