Art must not sit idol but must actively engage the viewer to provoke a response that changes their perspective from before engaging with the work.
My philosophy for making art is that it is a cultural manifestation and reflection of our society. This is why I feel it is important to create work that speaks directly to the audience. Strong art engages the individual and allows them to transcend, interpret or ridicule it.
