The reflection of life, both as subject and Metaphor, affects how I perceive
the world and how it works. Our culture is problematic, repetitive, and
controlled. Consequently my work reflects these characteristics. |

Life in some shape or form is mostly repetitious, and repetition is the
basic function of machines. These machines, more specifically robots, go
through some troubling procedures, which is meant as a representative of
life’s moral and societal problems and obstacles, such as human nature or
dependencies. As important as I feel the robots are to my work, the images
that connects it to life are the actions and procedures that the robots are
performing. The robots are meant to be the replacement for the human race,
but at the same time are basically man in a robot's skin. My use of cartoon-type imagery and flat comic book
like colors serves as a deterrent
from the problems that are being presented. This too is a reflection of
life - the images and colors soften the problem in order to make them more
acceptable, similar to how society deals with these very same problems.
