I depict unique conversations and stories through a collage of various mediums, spilling out from a comic form into animations and paintings to reach a greater scope of understanding.
These conversation fragments compelling in their fleeting and seemingly ordinary nature yet have deeply impacted me and altered my world view in some way.
While I had originally hoped to bring attention and understanding to these singular voices from singular backgrounds, I found that the further I probed, the more my subjects eluded me. My art emphasizes the distance that lies between a glimpse of another’s perspective and true understanding of that individual; in attempting to breach the gap, this discrepancy is instead highlighted.
How can we best understand another person’s unique emotional experience and background? How far does this ability extend?
