"Most of my works are supported by memories of the past and suggested realities. Issues of social politics, ancestral references, and astral projectgsions are presented with fragmented elements of "real life" collaged and collapsed, as dreams are prone to do. If connections are made, all the better.  I feel that life should remind us of our dreams."
