I feel I’m creating my strongest and most focused art in 2026. All the experiments, trial and error, and learning over the past years has brought me to a point of understanding and freedom. I know my purpose as an artist and I’m clicked in. #artseries #artandmusic #artcollection #galleryart
“Ante Meridiem“ from 2017 speaks to social mechanisms, routine, and the daily grind. Our schedules become patterns, our routines run like clockwork. Day in and day out. I often wonder about adding or subtracting parts of the routine machine. If I do, will it all fall apart?
