OBJECTIVE
As an artist, art is how we express ourselves. We do not express ourselves through words, but through our creations. My art is how I was able to cope with the struggles I went through in life, especially the depths that having Major Depressive Disorder brought me to. I used art as a form of therapy. Being bad at expressing my feelings, art is my way of communicating and unburdening my mind. I think the goal of art is to evoke a feeling in the viewer, whatever that feeling may be. If I accomplish to express my feeling through my pieces and evoke any sort of feeling my viewer may interpret, I have accomplished what I wish.
