Experiencing Interruptions?

artist. (2023)

An examination of the woes of being an artist.

This experimental poetically-narrated film reflects the struggles I have faced as an artist. Though I love art, creation doesn’t always come easy. Artists can feel trapped by fears of vulnerability and criticism, yet, in the end, we find that being artists is our nature.
