As much as I believe in the capacity for art to create change, and as much as being an artist is physically and emotionally challenging, there is ultimately something a bit comfortable about making art in the comfort of your own home.

Generally, I start by observing the existing and popular narratives in my social spheres and media, and the pressures I face in my own life experiences.
