Artist Statement:
I have known the lost souls who haunt this world searching for life in all the wrongs places, I was one of them. So many wondrous people loose their purity to exploitation, and hang a price“ tag on their bodies and souls; these are the subjects who populate my works.

I introduce the plasticity of those who allow the world to enslave them, and I show the beauty in those who allow themselves to be set free. I try to use my medium to undermine preconceptions, exposing a society that praises wealth, possessions, and its own predetermined standards of beauty, at any cost....
