What is your favorite medium?

Ink. 

What is your favorite work?

I don’t know. There’s..there’s a lot of things, but my mind is really bad. My mind is empty like I have a bad memory. So it’s memorable, but I only remember the feelings, not the actual piece.

What is your inspiration behind your work?

 The things I observe in real life. The things I think about.

What do you want to portray to the audience?

Well, that’s the thing. I want them to see and then know that there’s something that’s not just done purely for the [visual aspect]. I mean there are some things I like to do purely for the visual aspect. But other times, [I like] to be able to hide things in plain sight. To make the audience wonder but not know why I did what I did.
