When I look at my children I see unity. I see polar opposites but unity. I see these things and my siblings and I and other sibling relationships as well. That relationship between my children was the inspiration for this photo. The chaotic nature of one and the order of the other compliment each other. They are naturally dependent on one another, and the way that they relate uplifts each other. On a daily basis I watch them interact with each other and the world, and I witness a balance. Their bond is the perfect balance between peace and insanity.

I fell in love with art, all forms of it at a very young age. Photography is a gift that was passed onto me from my paternal grandfather. I admired his and others work for years and finally purchased my first camera in 2009 when I was 19. I began with capturing images of animals and then after a traumatizing incident, took a break from art altogether for a few years. In 2013 I purchased another camera, as I had sold my first one, and began shooting again. I found my air again. I find beauty in people, animals, nature, objects, etc. I believe that anything can be inspiration and I use that to drive me. I want to make people think and feel with my photos. I want them to smile, laugh, cry, get angry, and more. I want to continue my work until my last breathe. I actually wonder what a photo in that moment would look like. Hmmmmm
