Awareness and action are not the same thing. I think of art as a means to embrace our vulnerabilities and strengths while being mindful; yet, I also think of art as action, bound with the determination to pursue and realize our collective dreams. Art can be short, long, or infinite trail in direction of expressing ourselves and our relationship with the world. For me, being involved in art is my contribution towards creating a just, inclusive and more habitable world to everyone. I want to be present, perhaps at times behind the scenes, but incessantly facing the current when my spirit allows it and, striving to be grounded and centered in the different perspectives of our reality.
