I have become less interested in making things
suitable for the public and more interested in involving the whole
idea. I am tired of seeing images that are “the perfect beauty”.
Who cares? However, everyone makes it a point to obsess over vanity,
and it seems it has turned into a gruesome and horrific competition.
Our society, including myself, revolves day-to-day activity around
self-gratifying actions because of our own insecurity. In the past
I have tried to pull away from patterns like these, yet in the end
I have realized that as long as I live in any society these patterns
will always occur. It is inevitable, because there will always be
insecurity, thus comes self-gratification to fulfill all that is missing;
the endless cycle of what was and always will be. The end result to
this analyzation is, I do what I feel is right and necessary for each
moment of my time. I give the public what I perceive as beautiful,
confused, ugly, painful and happy; then I dissect it into an incision
that mirrors my thoughts into images that can be shared with the viewer.
