Artist Statement
Creating is my way of unleashing my inner child, building my playground, and welcoming people into my world without me having to say a word. My work focuses on self-exploration, and Twist is a short film about a man who uses his imagination to move past some temporary boundaries. I dislike setting limits for myself, believing that they are ultimately meant to be broken. Going beyond comes with challenges, and in this film, I chose a medium that I had never worked with before, and despite many difficulties along the way, my imagination took me further.
