Artist Statement:

My artistic process revolves around my intuitive fascination with messes. An unspoken, untranslatable pull, to help everything find where it needs to go— to find harmony. I’ve yet to find a more satisfying feeling than the  l i t e r a l  bliss of everything finding its place— order. I constantly feel the desire for both, new opportunities presented by a mess, and the clarity of mind that comes with order. I often find myself contending with the paradox puzzle that is humanity. I try to reveal the struggle for balance as an individual, a student, a leader, a comrade, a friend, a brother, a son, and a partner. As an interdisciplinary artist, my compiled experiences as a dancer, singer, actor, photographer, video, editor, choreographer, comedian, and writer have shown countless parallels and intersections between each individual medium’s process, completed structure, and life’s innate processes. Each discipline provides structure for an individual’s mind to intuitively manifest in. Ultimately, revealing the profound universality of humanity’s appetite for authentic artistic reflections.
