Tell us about this artwork. What makes it unique?
“I will be submitting a video montage of the Black Lives Matter protests which took place last year. It’s unique due to its way of changing history and capturing makes my art part of history.”
How did you come to be an artist in video/digital media?
”Born and raised in Boston, MA I taught myself how to observe and create composition. This practice was through everyday use of environmental awareness. Watching colors, people, feeling the wind etc. I started creating films at the age of 12 and it wasn’t until 22 where I honed my skills as a film maker.”
