With an immense desire to see and understand the world around me, I hope to capture all of its beauty and document my adventures through photography. But it's not just wanderlust that drives me to share my photography, because anyone can feel that. It's the passion for culture and tradition, passion for adventure and exploration, and a desire to expose my experiences to the world. Not everyone is as lucky to have the opportunities that many of us have, such as spending time studying in another country, and I believe that so much can be learned from them. To have an understanding of people from a different with different traditions and values is to connect with a world outside your own. As an artist I believe in the power of diverse creativity and that art is a language spoken universally. I believe that I can translate my experiences and new understandings into art for not just my peers but for others around the world to see. I'm just the translator, but my goal is to make that translation as beautiful and inspiring as possible.
