Artist Statement

This work challenges us to reflect on both the legacy of the individual and the collective. It calls for a reckoning with the systems that continue to harm our planet and each other, systems we often navigate through life barely noticing, even as they wreak irreversible damage. What does legacy truly mean, and how can our choices shape it in ways that will uplift future generations?
