DEEP INSIDE

“CalArts.
A game-changer in the education of professional artists.
CalArts.
Grounded in openness, experimentation, critical engagement, and creative freedom.

To all what will always stay in counselor’s rooms.
To our hidden curriculum.”

Suffocation My artworks respond to the psychological impact of action and reaction (Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion). I like to think of this law in metaphorical terms beyond the literal mathematical implications.
