My Art

In addition to writing, I use art to express the way that I see the world around me. It makes me practice reflecting, understanding my own perspective, drawing parallels, adapting to mediums, and then creating something that I hope will make others think about the impact they have on the world.

"I Can't Breathe"

This piece was intended to highlight the patterns of police brutality in our country, with the face and protests in the background depicting George Floyd, who was murdered on May 25th, 2020. This piece was also featured as the cover of the first issue of the Break Bread Literacy Project.

"America, Inc."

Although it is very much up to interpretation, very bit of this tower is a symbol for the consequences of ethical choices made by corporations around the country. The trees falling show deforestation, the foundation cracking showing instability and corruption, the man standing on a stack of bills ready to jump hints at guilt for his institution's actions leading to his own mental health deterioration.
