My work is about various topics and ideas that I am interested in. Lately I have been using my work as a tool for introspection, like a form of therapy. The issue with using art as therapy is that your therapy sessions are inevitably aired out for everyone to see. Those who choose to work like this must be okay with a certain level of vulnerability; a state that is conveniently avoidable by erecting walls of nonsense. Life can sometimes feel absurd and bewildering, and what better way to hide than to wear this bewilderment as a form of camouflage.
