My art focuses on how individuals experience their environment - specifically, the impact of social, cultural, and political issues on development of one's identity as identity informs the struggle to live a satisfying life. My themes involve the hunger to find one's own pleasures regardless of externally imposed criteria, such as money or other venerated symbols of happiness. I exhibit these themes by combining my images with Tweets communicating "bursts" of short thoughts and feelings about how people personalize issues of the day.
