I wrote once “I cannot cry, so I create.” That is a great example of my artistic philosophy. Through my art, I express things that are greater than myself. I write poetry, songs, and have dabbled in short stories. When not putting words to feelings, I am considering the nature of being. I consider the nature of humanity; our purpose, our flaws, faults, and failures. I look at the world through a realistic lens. I am not afraid of introspection; I find it to be the most important activity someone can engage in. This stems from a book I read once on spirituality, though I am not spiritual. The book proposes that, at our core, we are the experiencer of the world, and as such, everything we encounter is provided to us through a narrative. These are our thoughts, prejudices, ideas, judgments, and so on. This is necessary because without this context everything would be so raw that we could not cope with life.

So, with this philosophy I decided to discover my narrative, what does my mind explain to me that alters the raw experience. By understanding that I might be able to create the real picture of my experiences, without bias. This concept shows through my art. My art is always questioning. It questions the experience and the concepts. I question why we think what we think. What I produce should give the reader a different view and hopefully lead them to investigate their own narrative.
