    Artist Statement:
    My work continues to research and push the boundaries of the limits that ‘man’ has placed on himself when it comes to rigor on the body and mind which blurs the fine line between sanity and insanity, thus resulting in a highly physical practice which pushes the limits of the psyche. The practice consists of physical research which pushes durational studies which then informs how my physical being relates to my mental being. My research feels highly sacred as well as spiritual in a way that I relate to the world and all things around and inside of me. I believe that it takes pushing the body to extreme physical boundaries so that we may reach moments of bliss by breaking beyond those boundaries and connecting to our higher purpose or my higher purpose and that is to acknowledge that- “i am the universe. The universe is i. God is the universe. and God is i.”
