{ PHILOSOPHY }
'ART IS TRANSCENDENCE'. I believe art is all about challenging the preconceptions of
the human mind and enabling the mind to reach new levels of thought. As an artist,
you must make it your goal to captivate and intrigue your audience so they are ultimately
forced to search for your message or attach their own.

{ BEAUTY & AESTHETICS }
I find inspiration and beauty within industrial and utilitarian items. These items are
taken-for-granted and lack appreciation from the general public. An essential factor in the
art making process is to approach everything with a curious and interpretive mind. For
instance, I use common industrial materials (hardware, wire, tubing, electrical components)
and repurpose them into jewellery. I provide people with a new perception of hardware's
usage. I attribute a different aesthetic to the mundane industrial materials and uncover
the dormant beauty within them. Most people perceive nuts and bolts as objects of construction
that are clunky and dingy, however, I view these materials in terms of form, shape, and
texture. The jewellery I design is heavily influenced by architecture. Each piece of
jewellery I make is more than just the construction of metals; it is a testament to
architecture or a possible blueprint.

{ MY MISSION }
Art frees the individual from restrictions, limitations, society, and oneself.
In the same notion that transhumanism seeks to garner a future of improbabilities
for humanity, art must transcend more dimensions of thought and meaning than simply
creating a pretty, superficial picture that leaves your mind as soon as it enters.
It is my wish that by exploring other avenues of art and art making, what was once
considered lifeless and lackluster, can be venerated and appreciated for its
aesthetic merit.
