​Artist Statement

"Penetrating the obscurities of quotidian life and its articulation requires a clear view of the present condition. Hence, through fieldwork, the lay ethnographer becomes an observer and applies the method of cultural immersion to have a visceral experience of the world. With this visceral experience of the world, the artist can have a magnified view of the world. From brushing our teeth to making love, it is no secret that we can experience or understand it a bit more through closer inspection. Hence, art for me becomes like a magnifying lens that helps us to be more aware of what is right under our nose, which consequently leads us to reflect our actions.
An artist that highlights specific sentiments for participant/audience to understand their own political consciousness, that move out of the center simply to observe or facilitate, and sincerely invites the public into dialogue is democratic. Dialogue is deeply beautiful, as it is shareable, direct, and honestly truthful.  It makes us feel or experience the real. Hence in my art, connecting with another human being is more important than the objects and/or situations I construct as it may open up our understanding of the world a little bit more."
