The only thing I can say with certainty about myself is that I make art. Trying to elaborate (preferred mediums, quality of my work, etc.) leads to dissatisfaction. I like to think that I'm adaptable; I've made drawings, photos, videos, digital artwork, music… currently I'm more focused on songwriting.

 

Every now and then I come across a piece that moves me so powerfully that I get injected with the drive to create. That's mainly what motivates me: the idea that I could make something that resonates with others as much as that work of art resonated with me. Of course, that poses a problem: there's no way for me to know if what I make is as emotionally resonant as I want it to be. If people think about my art after interacting with it, then I think I'll have succeeded.

 

Art also forces me to interrogate myself emotionally; when I can't understand or articulate myself with typical means, my body's usually ready to talk in a different way.
