statement
My production is anchored in the appreciation, acceptance and release of emotions to introduce reflection on the complexity of thoughts and behaviors around mood disorders, melancholy, and acceptance of the inevitable, mutable and unstable.
I propose as a process the exploration and contemplation of the individual and my own psyche for the analysis and resolution of what dwells within each emotion-action, applied towards a playful, ironic, bittersweet and poetic approach.
