Artist Statement

I like creating stories within my artistic practices that are based off my own experiences. Lately, I’ve been exploring the topic of romantic relationships and the stigma around being single. From what I’ve experienced, this stigma seems to stem from the fear of loneliness. As someone who experiences little to no desire for romance, there’s many people in my life who don’t understand me and reinforce this fear. With this film, I wanted to explore these feelings safely, and ask myself, “So what if I chose to stay single?”
