ARTIST STATEMENT
''My art boldly challenges escapism, delving into the raw fabric of reality. It pulsates with critical inquiry, unsettling norms, and shattering binaries. Through film, theater, or any medium, I weave a tapestry of complexities, blurring lines and defying conventions. Sustainability and collaboration infuse my work, driven by a commitment to resistance and a vision for a just future. From the depths of Blackness to the melodies of melancholy, my art resonates with queer, black, disabled, and sustainable perspectives. It is a relentless exploration, a rhythmic heartbeat, echoing the urgent call for change.''
