"Art is a reflection of ourselves, the story of humanity, and a quest to understand the physical and #metaphysical world. As we try to understand our place in the #universe, art can be an important part of the dialogue we can create and share with each other. In my work, I seek to reveal the #mysterious with arcane imagery and techniques that make sense to me on a deep level that words cannot quantify. There is an underlying dichotomy of the power of #technology and our #quantum connection to it and our Universe. How might our use or mis-use of technology permanently alter the #future of #humanity and what is our personal responsibility of our effect on the world and each other? It is my attempt to capture the complexity and beauty of the underlying mechanisms that bind us in an emotion."
"Art articulates the #unknown. Its brings awareness and elements of being that have not yet entered the collective #consciousness. It expands the #landscape and moves civilization forward into the realm of the #undiscovered It tries to dissect what is yet #unimaginable, give value to the valueless, and meaning to what it is to be #human."

"Over the past few years, I have become immersed in scientific and philosophical concepts, such as #Anatomy, Computer #Science, #Math, #Cosmology, #Biology, #Quantum #Physics, and #Consciousness. I have been particularly fascinated with scientific diagrams, which explain theories and properties through imagery. Although these rudimentary images are without any leanings towards aesthetics, I find them to be beautiful, though that is not the intention. All of the projects I have created begin as drawings, which I feel has a beauty and intimacy that painting cannot capture. The subtle lines that #graphite creates, and the quickness in which one can capture an idea makes this medium alluring."
