SHYRA 

I FIND CREATING A WRITTEN ARTIST'S STATEMENT CHALLENGING BECAUSE MY ARTWORK IS ALREADY A STATEMENT.
EACH PAINTING, COLLAGE, VIDEO, SOUND, AND SIMPLE SKETCH IS A PROCESS OF EMOTIONAL REVEAL AND CAPTURING TIME. THROUGHOUT MY LIFE, I MEANT TO EXPRESS MY SOUL, INNER WORLD, A PERSPECTIVE OF DAILY LIFE AND RESPONSE TOWARDS MY SURROUNDINGS.

DUE TO THE CONSTANT TURMOIL IN THE WORLD AND THE TENSION CAUSED BY SOCIAL MEDIA AND SOCIETY, PEOPLE HAVE LOST SINCERITY AND AUTHENTICITY.
IN TODAY'S WORLD, IT SEEMS PROGRESSIVELY STRENUOUS TO REVEAL ONESELF EMOTIONALLY. NEVERTHELESS, THE ACT OF REBELLION IN MY EVERYDAY LIFE CONTINUES TO PERSIST, AND I FIND IT NECESSARY FOR ARTISTS TO CONSIDER IT. I WANT TO MAKE ART THAT SENDS A LOUD MESSAGE, WITH ITS COLOURS, SHAPES, AND SIZE, TO BE NOTICED BY PEOPLE AND INSPIRE THEM TO FORM NEW IDEAS ON TODAY'S SOCIETAL STRUGGLES.
BY SHARING AND EXPOSING MY WORK, I INTEND TO PROVOKE AN AUDIENCE'S EMOTIONAL RESPONSE, WHICH CAN BE MEANINGFUL IN VARIATION. THERE IS NO INTENTION OF HAVING A SPECIFIC ANSWER. ALTHOUGH, THE SINCERE AND PERSONAL ONE MATTERS THE MOST.
