Artist statement: In the wake of a global pandemic and civil unrest, taking care of my emotional, psychological, and social well-being has become more important. Maintaining our mental health affects how we think, feel, and act. I have been so grateful to have a network of family, friends and colleagues to help me through stressful moments and remind me that I am not alone. I hope by joining this collective of artists, we can amplify the importance of taking care of our mental health through our work.
