In my artistic work, I use the metaphor of skin to portray the body as a container that holds human emotions, experiences, and history. Skin is the organ that separates an individual's internal from the external world. Therefore, painting the body gave me a sense of holding and represented the existence of humans in the world. 

However, my focus has not been solely focused on my existence but instead has included the existence of others. As humane beings, we cannot isolate ourselves from others. Part of who we are is a result of internalization from society. Therefore, in examining my existence, it is imperative for me to take into consideration the way others exist within me. In my art, I express and explore to understand the proposes of my living in this world.
