– “Working with painting, sculpture or animation, and mimicking surrealist aesthetics each of my pieces has a statement of its own. However, for the most part my work attempts to deconstruct the concept of humanhood; reimagining humans as beautiful living creatures capable of dreaming, creating and loving, and some other times as terrifying beings whose actions corrode their own existence and the planet.
