Who are you and how does your artistic practice reflect that identity?  still learning who I am - I think my identity is hard to define because I think strongly associate identity with career goals and aspirations.  I think this has been ingrained heavily growing up with emphasis on school.  I think my artistic practice tends to strive for balance and minimalist, yet my brain can get very jumbled and chaotic.  ...

I think it is also very powerful for artists to use their work to make a statement that goes towards something bigger than themselves
