The work that I present explores many facets and forms of art that integrate audio, visuals, and writing content in order to pose questions and inform viewers- about popular and unconventional social and cultural awareness. Through the exploration and observation of ever-changing and recycled dominant cultural norms, taboos, and subcultures existing in the world of music, fashion, literature, travel, lifestyle, and art, I seek to provide viewers with a channel into an arena where they can gain knowledge of trends in our society from past to present, and from underground to conventional. Many of the dilemmas that have plagued our world are rooted in selfishness, inconsideration, and misunderstanding of things that surround us as well as what we are unfamiliar with.
My work strives to bridge a gap amongst the various forms of expression and lifestyles that influence our world, and explore their differences as well as their connectivity.
The content that will serve this purpose will encompass writings, still and interactive visuals, and audio, that will juxtapose organic creation with already existing expression. Major influences of my work include individuals who have reached iconic status through the ages and have shaped and impacted international culture through academia and the arts such as Bob Marley and Angela Davis. My interests are also very submersed in underground sub cultures of the arts, music, and fashion, such as graffiti and street art from the likes of Mr. Brainwash and Fafi, independent music artists and sub-genres such as Horrorcore Hip-Hop, and independent culture creators like Street Etiquette. My work intends to have no boundaries in terms of content and subject matter at hand. It serves to document and display various corners of human expression and engage viewers by bringing them to the forefront of our consciousness.
