Artist’s Statement
As an artist my work focuses on exploring concepts of life through social interaction using photography, film and text.
Throughout the journey of life we collect things: experiences, memories, possessions, relationships. These things are what create our personality. It is our memories and experiences that make each one of us who we are. My work is developed from an interest in how we perceive our surroundings through those unique experiences.
