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.
