• Artist Statement

  This photo was taken the first time I borrowed a camera from school. Of course, there were lots of trials and errors. But the prospect of creating something to be proud of overpowered the frustrations I might have had. The excitement of waiting for the shutter to click and rushing to see the photo with my loyal model, my sister, left me feeling exhilarated. Before this project and this photo shoot, tough times and inner turmoil made me withdrawn from my creativity. But this project and the sense of accomplishment it gave me truly reignited something within me. I am forever appreciative of this episode of experimentation and growth.
