In my work, I want the viewers to be able to escape their own minds and see what it’s like in mine. My work is centered around some dark ideas that I want to shine a light on. Whether it be mature subjects like political statements or an alien war scene. In these ideas I want the viewer to challenge themselves to find an interpretation that is close to them. My work is about pushing the boundaries of what one person can think of on their own and being able to introduce new original ideas into their minds. I work with a variety of media, but I like to focus on digital work for now. I hope in the future to add a variety of new media to my skill set.
