Defining ones current condition, actions, or certain repercussions as “good or bad”, “positive or negative” is best described in a mixture of philisophical,scientific, and mathematical understanding of the world around me. Regardless of a positive or negative “integer” -- fact of the matter is that we rely on the absolute value of a circumstance to take personally. In my work I like to express the quiz essential definition of symmetrical and functional theory and how its misconceptions influence my condition. Symmetry is all around us and is not only found in math, and science, but also philosophy and more particular ones in the inanimate, the organic nature and in human society. The fascination began when the linear properties of symmetry has long been sought out as describing the perfect being or an aesthetic marvel. In relation to what I deem beautiful and perfect like objects found in nature which are hardly symmetrically inclined.The balance between functional and organic has always been an enigma —The mythologies in my pursuit are aimed towards conditioning the mind to be comfortable with that in which one may deem uncomfortable.I wish to realize these anxieties in hopes to reach a higher empathetic state of self realization. Symmetrical and Geometric aesthetics are mediums which I like to use to display balance, beauty, and functionality in hopes to attract an audience who, after viewing it’s "conceptualization " would not particularly appreciate without understanding it's effort. Combining balance between tangible concepts and pain, love and a life I’m haunted with-- has the ability to reach those "exclusive individuals" I want to elaborate this mythology on.Those who too are conflicted but willing to accept the beauty of a breakdown, thus aiding in my efforts towards exercising ones responses with empathy and cognitive understanding. conditioning the mind not to flee in the face of sorrow— but to approach these emotions with optimistic reaction.The energy one attains by it’s absolute value is solely based on the individual. My art is A series of images, ideas, emotions, and sensations that occur involuntarily in my mind during certain stages of sleep— not a direct imitation of this lifetime. I believe this expression is derivative of the humans ability towards psychic intuition which if acknowledged as a higher quantum level of thought, allows an individual to dissect one self as well as attaining a higher sense of human interaction and social intelligence-- elaborating on this tactic of psycho self analyses is a responsibility I could not do without, and i'm comfortable with finding new ways to explain how suffering is one of the most important things we need to understand in order to be happy and satisfied. ​
