“I find art to be the reflection of the soul of society. It is the collection of experiences that is given form in order to communicate an idea, a statement or an opinion. It is universal, it is personal and invites the commonality of difference to collaborate in a framed space. Like human emotion or feelings, it truly is impossible to define. I find It is the closest tangible way of grasping the most beautiful part of being human.”
