I always wanted to be someone better the next day than I was the day before.

I had chosen to use my work as a reflection of my values.

I couldn't adjust to the racism in Florida. It was so blatant... I had never been so described as Florida described me.

In my case, the body of work stands for itself... I think my work has been representative of me as a man.

I never had an occasion to question color, therefore, I only saw myself as what I was... a human being.

We're all imperfect, and life is simply a perpetual, unending struggle against those imperfections.

To simply wake up every morning a better person than when I went to bed.
