When it comes to public art, there are many questions that arise. How do we create spaces that promote humanism and social inclusion? What is the impact of art in public space on our day-to-day lives? These are just some of the questions I explore as an artist working with these concepts.
My work focuses on understanding how people interact within their environment and how they engage with one another in shared spaces. Through my drawings, sculptures, installations, and other forms of public art I seek to bring attention to issues such as private versus public space; social inclusion; interaction; engagement and participation between individuals living together in cities or neighborhoods.
I believe that by creating meaningful works of art for all members of society—regardless, if it’s a sculpture placed at a city center or an installation inside someone’s home—we can foster greater understanding between people from different backgrounds who share common interests but may have never met otherwise due to cultural differences or geographical distances. By encouraging dialogue through artwork, we can help bridge gaps created by language barriers, socioeconomic disparities, and various other factors which divide us into “us” versus “them” camps.
My goal is not only making aesthetic statements but also provide opportunities for learning about ourselves while connecting us more deeply with each other – ultimately leading towards positive changes within our societies both locally & globally!
