Artist Statement

As an intuitive creative thinker, [ i ] delves into study, research, and conversations—both deep and unassuming—with familiar faces and strangers alike to explore complex perceptions on sensitive topics such as politics, religion, and society. By observing the cycles, triggers, and the interplay of cause and effect in myself and others, [ i ] seeks to unravel how our individual and collective circumstances shape the realities we inhabit.

Through this reflective process, [ i ] creates paintings, sculptures, writings, and interventions that compel us to consider the psychological landscape of our times and history. These raw and unfiltered works invite audiences to question what has become normalized in everyday society—perceptions shaped by experience and the uncontrollable impulses of ego, informing our unconscious beliefs that have evolved from misinformation over time.

In Latin, [ i ] translate to “ego”—a reminder of the self and the complexity of our shared human experience.
