My artwork aims to illuminate how societal expectations and norms can contribute to feelings of isolation, particularly for individuals who do not conform to traditional gender or social roles.
Having experienced the pressure to conform myself, I understand how suffocating it can be, leaving one feeling trapped and disconnected. Through my art, I seek to capture the emotional weight of these experiences, exploring the complex and often conflicting emotions that arise when one's identity clashes with societal norms.
I am also deeply concerned about the growing problem of loneliness in our society. Despite the seemingly constant connectivity of our world, studies show that loneliness is on the rise and has significant negative impacts. My art creates a space for reflection and conversation around these issues, encouraging viewers to think critically about the role of self-determination in our social and emotional lives.
Ultimately, my goal is to share my perspective on a life without strict boundaries or definitions. Our brains naturally categorize things to simplify our understanding, but I envision a world where we can break free from those mental limitations and view the world in a more open and expansive way.
