Artist Statement

As our society evolves, so does our relationship with animals. Due to industrialization, factory farming, and massive monocultures, our connection with food sources has been diminished. My interest lies within the roles played by animals, insects, and plants, which increasingly are being overlooked and mistreated. My hope is to encourage a reconnection between consumers and their food sources and to foster a sense of social responsibility.
