Statement

For me, art is not the end product. It is merely a tool for achieving social justice. I start with this in my mind and then work backward, doing whatever is necessary – drawing, painting, photography, video, design, or performance – to realize that vision. My art connects utopian ideals with everyday life with the hope of inspiring action for change. I am always looking to reach people beyond the art world, as my work is often best experienced in public spaces like our streets or the Internet. It is not only intended to be an engaging or tongue-in-cheek response to the headlines but also a solemn critique of the systems and power structures in our daily lives.

My interest in social justice inspires me to document, critique, or intervene. I utilize various personas, uniforms, and class - paired with serious humor - to create a constructive dialogue about society's dilemmas within the communities I have lived. These issues range from migrant workers' rights, the war on whistleblowers, police brutality, white supremacy, voter disenfranchisement, the military-industrial complex, social and economic inequality, and global warming. I don't care to preach to the choir or fuel the opposition's flames. Instead, I seek to educate, find common ground, and invite people to reimagine the world differently.
