“My art explores duality within the human spirit and provides a deep dive into the mental health of all humans. This is achieved by using the human form as the catalyst to tell complex stories through body language that portrays specific stories while the background gives a dual perspective. Intertwining both the human figure and the background in such a way shows both the light and the dark that we as experience on a day-to-day basis.”
