My Objective
To create a body of work that can field the question of my environment. A body of work that can narrate the memorial sentiments of my growing existence. I believe my work are social satirical pieces that can start conversation of new ideas, challenge the current social system of how communities works, and pushes the boundaries of the viewers “self reflection” to self-abasement.
