Artist Statement

I created this piece to encourage kids (especially teenagers) to just be themselves. Embrace all of your differences, from your background, to your appearance, to where you come from. It’s what makes you who you are, and what makes you unique. The piece should inspire people to be comfortable with themselves and just be different, whatever that means to them.
