“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.”

Dalai Lama

long overdue. Shakespeare’s art, unrestrained by convention, forces viewers to confront uncomfortable truths. His symbolic expressions transcend mere aesthetics—they are raw, unapologetic calls to awareness. In an era where society is waking up to long-ignored injustices, his work stands as both a mirror and a challenge. The world may not be “ready” in the traditional sense, but that is precisely why his art is necessary. It disrupts, it provokes, and ultimately, it transforms.

My perspective on art is unapologetically powerful and authentic. By allowing viewers to interpret my work without explanation, I invite a deeply personal engagement with my art—whether that be admiration, critique, or indifference. Staying true to my convictions ensures that my work remains meaningful and impactful, regardless of how it is received. Hence evolving through a dialogue between myself and my artwork, a dynamic force that continues to resonate beyond the canvas to impact with  my audience. A given.
