The World as It Is, and Can Be

“
Artist’s Reflection

I’d like my art to remind humanity that empathy is what makes us human. Empathy is what makes our art strong and truthful.

And that, yes, art is a mirror of our world. It shows it starkly, with all its realities, and at the same time, because that mirror is created by us, it is a mirror that can show us what can be.

And I think that is one of the most powerful gifts that we have been given as artists.
