Artist Statement

Everyone is a bit weird in their own ways. Me... Well I'm trying to get into medical school with a degree in media studies. These are two completely different paths that don't cross over at any intersection. The goal of becoming a doctor was set long ago in 3rd grade when I stumbled upon a book about the human body. Getting a bachelors in media studies was more of a recent choice. Media represents who the common man isn't yet wants to be.


Media is a from of entertainment made to appeal it’s audience and it does so by portraying almost romanticized character who do suffer through the ups and downs of live but still manage victory at the end. This is something that we all want for ourselves but in reality it doesn’t necessary have to work that way. We don't always have to be or act as we see people portrayed in the different mediums.


Analyzing media can set the mood at a coffee table but I'm more interested in observing certain things and depicting my perspective on it in any form of presentation. This blog will include short videos, collages, posters or any such art forms that may seem random but will be linked in some way or another. I want my work to not only appeal to the real common man but also help them identify with others who may be going through the same issues.


It never hurts to dream. Dreams gives us a goal, set goals help us discover new pathways, which provides us with hope. The world runs on hope.
