Why PS @ NYU?

All artistic fields involve a level of performance, and this idea resonates with me. In my artistic endeavors, I create a vessel to connect with the audience, offering parts of myself and my own psyche for them to relate and spiritually respond to. My work is often inspired by multiple media forms. For example, a song may inspire a painting. An art movement may inspire a collage. Each of my works transforms into its own performance.
