My whole Life has basically been based on things that I can do to over come hard obstacles. I've had to deal with many difficult things in my life but one of the most challenging has been fear. As a kid I wasn't really scared of anything but, as I grew older I noticed how dangerous things were around us and the smallest things would scare me. Now as a teenager I still notice that everyday things still freak me out. Most of the things that scared me though were things that had a hidden meaning like certain songs or certain ways of thinking. For my project I chose fear because I believe that fear is something we as New Yorkers have to deal with every day. Of course I put my own spin on it and made it so people can see what fear is through my eyes. For me words are a very powerful part of my work and something that you will see me use in almost every piece I make. Photography was also something I was always interested in so there will be many pictures in my work. My fear piece has ever-single type of material (magazines, photos, tape, paint, ink, white-out) so u can experience my type of fear through every kind of perspective. As an artist I feel that I am very deep. Poetry has affected my art greatly and so have experiences and mistakes. You will see in my art a huge reflection of self and hopefully you will be able to see it the way I see it. This fear project was something that I was very interested in and something that relates to my style a lot. Fear is important and shouldn't be forgotten.
