“We are so used to looking at the art. I want the art to look at people. I want the design to work with how we move, see, and think. And that this polarity is a duality that must exists. We are so used to wanting the identity of the artist. Exploring the non-linear approach to my identity through the expressions of these masks and faces are primitive. And this primitive root is the humanity in us. I look at it more as where are we going and how we will change at how we interact with what we see with the forms, shapes, lines that form who we are. It cannot be simple, because I have not met a simple human. I have only met a human who wears the mask of simplicity.”-  a.c.d.
