My art is a conversation with No One. I speak to them unfiltered, telling them my struggle between courage and cowardice, fear of ostracism, and the loneliness of this existence. I can never scare no one away with these thoughts because they were never there to begin with. Through these one-sided conversations, I seek truth in connecting and forming relationships. In my work, birds and animals serve as no one. Leaving my comfort zone is a hard choice to make, unlike a fledgling who is pushed out of the nest with no choice but to fly. I am always met with hesitation at the rim of this bird’s nest. Stuck between my own familiar solitude and the uncertainty that is beyond it. Like singing in a dawn chorus, my art speaks louder and with honesty that I am not capable of sharing with voice alone.
