Somebody once noticed that I was crying and sat next to me. He reached for a gum wrapper and began to fold it, transforming it into a paper crane. Years later, I found it when I was rummaging through a box of trinkets, and I still  knew who it was from and what it had meant to me. To this day I still associate paper cranes with kindness and generosity. My goal is to use my unique insights into human perception to create work that truly strikes those who see it, makes them genuinely feel something and leaves a lasting impression just as the paper crane did for me.
