Artist Statement My concentration is rebellion against the natural form of life by identifying with an imaginary picture. We have a need to identify with imaginary worlds such as those in books to get a better understanding of what is wrong with the natural form of life, such as war and laws. Painting, literature and music can be forms of peaceful rebellion by the people to rebel against people more powerful than them, such as the government. In my art I explored control or laws, humans and their powerful thoughts, the imagination of children, the emotions and thought from music, roles a person makes for himself to become powerful, the evils of war and the pledge.
