• Artist Statement

  The world we live in is slowly devolving towards human-caused climate catastrophe, and for individuals of my generation, the knowledge of that fact is omnipresent. In between the major disasters, it's often the little things that truly represent how much our world has lost and stands to lose, like the extinction of many species of organism popularly considered unimportant. Through the lens of speculative fiction, I wanted to capture the sensation of anxiety that those little details we're missing in our attempts to preserve our planet could turn out to be very, very big.

• Creative Statement

  Creativity is for me the generation of people and worlds that do not exist anywhere in reality. I'm a very introspective person, so writing is a medium through which I can share everything going on in my head with the outside world.
