Self Portrait |
Artist's StatementArt has many different perspectives. Most people believe art is merely painting or drawing but it isn't. Art can be so much more than what you can draw. Art can come from the endless possibilities of your mind. Art can be performance. Art can be musical. There are so many endless possibilities. From this, I believe I am an artist.
As a child, I found myself fascinated with cameras and creating photographs. At the time, I never thought there was much purpose to them. Throughout the years, I became more acquainted with various cameras. Each camera came with a new mentor that helped me see a new possibility with each shot I took. Now a senior in high school, I find myself with an endless thirst for new chances to learn. I consider myself much more than a photographer. I'm an artist. I create music. Performing arts is a strong passion of mine. Once you've delved yourself into the life of art, there's no turning back. You face a lot of struggles trying to create the "perfect" shot or the "perfect" piece and sometimes it gets discouraging. If you truly love what you do as I do, you won't give up. No matter how tough things get, I'll always continue what I love to do. Whether I do it for a career or a passionate pass time, nothing will keep me from my art. One day I hope I can find a chance at a real future with my art; music or photography. For now, I can only push forward learning new things each day to better myself. |
