Art Is Not Neutral

I don’t make art to decorate walls. I make it to disrupt neutrality and polished points of view. To drag out what you'd rather ignore and put it right in front of you.

Sometimes we have to swim alone. Sometimes we have to confront what no one else wants to face.

I believe that real art isn’t neutral. It always takes a side, even if it pretends not to. Art has been used to question power, call out lies, stir anger, and sometimes spark hope. That’s the space I work in. It pulls inequality, environmental damage, and ignored realities into the light. It asks why do we keep accepting them.

Art for change unsettles. It makes you stop scrolling and think. It doesn’t matter if it’s painting, mural, performance, or digital. What matters is the intent.

My use of black and white is personal. It’s tied to experiences that shaped me.

If you want art to matter, stop treating it like background noise. Collect and share work that calls things out. Talk about it. Bring it into your circle of friends, family and whoever will listen. Put it in public spaces where people can’t avoid it. And if you’re an artist, stop worrying what others think, put it out there. Risk something.

Art won’t fix the world. But it can cut through the noise, strip back the lies, raise awareness and make people think - hopefully into taking action.

My art is how I process the chaos I see.
