“My work is ultimately about creating empathy and a shared space for introspection and dialogue. I ask the viewer to see through someone else’s eyes, to walk in another’s shoes. To accept the ‘other.’ To reject divisiveness. To promote acceptance and understanding, and to reject violence and subjugation of anyone anywhere. To give voice to the voiceless, to heal, and to reflect on our shared humanity.”
