I am an ecosystem artist because I apply the principles of ecology and systems theory to my approach to art. I aim to preserve, reduce, or eliminate harm while reviving the life forms, resources, and ecology of our planet. This system of interconnected and interacting parts works together to create a much healthier whole.

 

I also consider myself a conceptual artist, as the concepts and messages represented in my artwork take precedence over traditional criteria for judging art, such as beauty, technique, and creativity. The "message" behind my artwork is the most crucial aspect of my practice and serves as my inspiration for creation.

 

Furthermore, I identify as a human rights activist artist, as my work vigorously advocates for human rights and related issues. The themes of my sculptures not only address psychological and mental health concerns but it is supportive of the environment, animal life and their habitats, and issues of race, immigration, freedom, and spirituality. The fight for human rights is ongoing and must be pursued repeatedly through our work, actions, and thoughts.
