I feel that my perspective, the<br />

unique way I witness this world,<br />

is the greatest gift I’m given.<br />

But I only realized that gift once<br />

I became aware of the fact my<br />

perspective is one of many, and<br />

everyone else’s has just as much<br />

value. I strive to show the messy<br />

and sometimes complex, dark<br />

beauty in the world because<br />

that’s how I see it. It’s not like<br />

the stories we read when we<br />

are kids; it’s not clear-cut and<br />

clean. Beauty comes from a more<br />

complicated, less friendly place<br />

to get where it is. Be it through<br />

dance, photography or music,<br />

I constantly find myself more<br />

enamored with the beauty I find<br />

in art and the artists who create.<br />
