Artist Statement
Through my work I search for the common ground we ALL share. Discovering the multiple worlds that intertwine in our reality becomes the vehicle of discovering my own. I step in another person's shoes in an attempt of unveiling the reality that surrounds us. By giving the tools to those who are left out we are able to hear their voice that raise without words and to look through their eyes. It is then that we can see WE are not different.
