The most difficult experience we must all endure - is figuring out who we are in this world. With the different phases in our lives revealing the layers of identity we all hold, I look back on my life and see exactly how I have come to this point. Navigating and seeing the world through the lens of a young woman discovering what makes her, her, I constantly see what has influenced me and my soul through my art. From the bike riders and handball players from the block as a child, to the spiritually artistic queer women and men of my adulthood, I find beauty in a world I have created for myself. A world where the life of a street kid from Queens is deemed beautiful, breathtaking, and out of this world. A world where the lives of artists, creators, innovators, underground athletes, and hustlers, are seen in a light in which we shine like gods. My art reflects my past, my present, and what I hope to be my future. Ever-evolving, ever-changing, and ever colorful - timelessness is what I aim to capture.
