• Artist Statement

  This piece is an attempt to put into imagery the complexities of living in the U.S. The man depicted in the image holding a burning newspaper in what looks like a typical American home is symbolic of the "classic" American life burning to ash. The newspaper symbolizes a multitude of things, global warming, social and political turmoil, the economy, or anything else interpreted by the viewer.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity is the ability to evoke emotion through a desired medium.
