I realize the older that I get, how great of a brother I have. We’re extremely different, yet mad chill. We differ heavily in beliefs, but I still look up to him quite a bit. He’s taught me what it means to lookout for Fam & truly be an older brother and leader. He still does it better than me, I guess I’m still maturing in that way, but I’m grateful to be able to look to him. Grace at its finest

I should be sleeping right now, but it’s pretty impossible with the way my mind has been racing since the end of the school year. This past semester was been an absolute killer. Easily the toughest, yet the most rewarding semester of my college career. If I didn’t have Christ these last five months I know I would have lost it, no doubt in my mind. Currently I’m in the midst of evaluating a lot in my life, evaluating who I am, what I believe, who I trust, where I should live in the fall, what I should take off of my plate, my calling, faulty doctrine, my desires, and the list goes on. In the midst of all of this, in two days, I fly halfway across the world for six weeks to do my part in fulfilling the Great Commission internationally.  All the while, none of this goes away, none of this processing, none of these feelings, none of these yearnings, none of these heartbreaks, none of these frustrations, none of it leaves and I still have to and will have to sort it all out. I’ll be cut off from everything here for that period, and who knows how I’ll return. I surely trust the sovereign will of God, but that doesn’t mean this won’t be hard, but I know you didn’t bring me this far to forsake me. 

It has been exactly ten months since I began image making, but less than a month since I have added my original base of skills to my photos: illustration. This collection aims to show depict the journey this has been, showing my progression, improvements and direction towards who I ultimately want to be as an artist and solidifying who I am currently. Although I still do not have any solidified direction, I do know this: symbolism is extremely important to me because I am always aiming to send a message with meaning in all that I do.
