Conforming in Diversiform - Artist Statement

The movement of forms became the driving force of reformation in my life, which did gravitate at some point. wondering in a complexity of cultural facade, reflecting an innate void, hungry to conform to inter-changing forms of expression, rejuvenate courage, spirit of liveliness and individuality, to resonate, effervesce my recreative mind, when called to a dance, dose your mind whirl, the obvious question is why do we dance?

I dance to release liveliness, positive emotions as my body charges with a burst of excitement to the rhythm. in my mystery, I sort to harmonise these unidentical entities, locked and unlock various forms of life and planes in figurative rhythmic movement, using corrosive, junk metal, to represent these forms, bringing alive, movement despite its natural characteristics of rust and stillness, that connotes weakness, ironically, I have found a conformable strength, forging my way through this medium of expression.

In my approach to movement, my focal point set as rhythmic movement in its peak performance, while trying to achieve perfection in the flow, brings pleasure to the soul, renewing our spirit, free of pain, hurt, and instability in our given circumstances. The result is a sound mind seeking to create awareness, integrating a social cultural society and a multicultural environment.

I am made, changed, and believe, that rhythmic movement, as an energised dispotion, evokes that feel good emotions in me to express myself freely.
