Artist's Statement on Breathe (2022):
Sometimes I feel ugly, stained with all the wrong colors. Shapeless, uneven. Fogotten even by the wind. Sometimes I hate the man who invented the mirror, obsidian and sand and silver. Sometimes the ocean feels like my only friend. Then, I take a deep breathe--and suddnely--I am beautiful again.
