My main focus when taking pictures is to capture aspects of our culture that many people don't often see. Most artists tend to focus on what they are comfortable with, but I find comfort in the most dangerous places because I believe the most beautiful relationships often come from difficult situations.

The message I want to convey is that even in poverty, you can create something beautiful out of nothing. I never expected to enjoy photography, but I've realized that my visions are best expressed through my pictures. I plan to continue creating and sharing my story.
