I'm a writer.
I'm a poet.
I'm a filmmaker.
I'm a photographer.
I'm a painter.
I'm an artist.



We live in a world where we are engulfed by structure and its
boundaries. A world that dictates so much that as comparative religion
professor and author of "The Hero with A Thousand Faces" Joseph
Campbell once said "societies pressure mount to the point that you
barely know who the hell you are." This is the work our creation, our
society has given us a passive consent and an everyday anonymity. Such
monotony takes its toll on us, driving us into claustrophobic corners
or utter conformity; it drains our creative spirit and our bursts of
spontaneity. It is through my art in all its disciplines whether
prose, poetry, or visual that I seek to de-construct reality in search
of beauty, as Graham Greene once wrote, "Destruction is a form of
creation." I just want to see what happens when we pull the world
apart.
