“I see my role as an artist contributing to positive change through inspiring empathy and understanding through beauty. Art often expresses powerful messages in ways words cannot by connecting with people on an emotional level through the senses.
“This raises awareness and encourages people to take action. I hope viewers will take away that something as simple as clean water can create health, independence, education, beauty, hope, and joy sustained over generations. It opens up endless possibilities that those with clean water may take for granted on a day to day basis.”
