My Approach to Creation

I am exploring the personal and collective unconscious through the use of symbols, imagination and emotion. The symbol that started this journey was a 1/2-inch drawing that a teacher left on my exam beside his name. After getting permission from him to use the image in my work, curiosity started me drawing, painting and sculpting it. The shared symbol represents a personal rebirth for me.
