ARTIST STATEMENT
In my art, I try to show people how society can change and make them aware of important issues. I tell stories on stage and in movies based on my own life experiences. It's important for me to help people see that sometimes they're stuck in old customs and beliefs. They're not really thinking about what's happening right now. I want my art to help them understand what the world is truly like. I use my own life experiences to create stories that show the world as it is, and my goal is to make people realize the truth.
