Sometimes we get a better understanding of knowing who we are by getting to know others. It’s in the positioning of ourselves and our circumstances compared to those around us that we can gain a better understanding of ourselves.
In Miami, I found myself floating in between two worlds - not fully belonging to either one, but absolutely being a part of both in some way
This collection of paintings inspired by Art Week in Miami explores themes of class division, and the palpable cultural differences that exist within one city (that ironically seems to have its own sense of cultural identity that seems highly influenced by the working class). This collection also explores the theme of art, and what is considered to be art according to the viewer (ie: graffiti vs. abstract art, landscape photography vs. landscape painting, photojournalism vs. portraiture).
