Statement
|
|
My works of artare motivated by humanity,how it responds to its day to daychallenges in relation to its surroundings/space.through sculpture i challenge the viewer to reflect on their identity as a people.i educate,warn,and conscientize this human society to understand where we are coming from,where we are andwhere we are headind to.If the people of this world could tolerate each others differences irregardles of religion, colour,creed and age,our world could be a better place.
