"What's the difference between right and wrong?" is a divisive question yet repetitively asked in arguments between my father and me. Without question, I try to answer him, but I'm more bothered by the binary nature of the question. So, I often leave it unanswered until the scale's weight starts to favor "who is right" in the argument. Unfortunately, this later caused distance in my relationship with my father. His trauma and experiences caused him to see the world in black and white. However, I never wanted a split in our relationship because I grew up experiencing and learning the gray spaces. Despite our passionate arguments and my opposition, I'm deemed the favorite amongst my siblings, and in the end, I love my dad. And even with my father out of the household, my mom, who I saw as overworked and exhausted, didn't just work to keep us afloat. To my surprise, she had personal goals to further my family's future for generational wealth. The underlying themes and motivations for people are precisely what makes us complex. It's left undiscovered, waiting for us to investigate and uncover our motives. Slapping "this or that" limits us from creating compromises and discovering something new. Before high school, I was in that "who am I?" stage. Now, I've discovered that viewing myself as either a straight A+ student or a failure, I sell myself short, disregarding the admirability that came from my interests and passions. Stepping into uncharted territory, I encouraged myself to learn and submerge myself in various studies and ambitious situations. This uncovered my love for research, presentations, leading, and art history, substantially more than what I could have discovered with a definitive label on who I was. Although labeling myself as an artist can be limiting, it's a special title that allows me to create, combine, and define what that means. It's an ever-evolving title that changes as I grow as a person, which I want to encourage in this world. In my artwork, I take inspiration out of the binary structure of the world. I would twist and squeeze out each subject's "not so obvious" polar relationships. My personal experiences spark an inquiry that would have me experiment; combining disciplines, demographics, and themes can make the artwork evolve. Additionally, changing my art-making approach, whether using research methods, incorporating my business knowledge, or directing large projects with various people, teaches and allows me to grow as a student and an artist. Designating myself as an artist gives me the power to define old or new ideas, such as how a scientist or any other profession achieves that. I look to become my own researcher and promote new concepts, and in the process inspire my peers to create their pathways by studying, exploring, and diversifying themselves with new disciplines. So by pursuing art, I look to achieve new metrics encouraging us to be less divisive, accept new "yes's and no's," and expose unexplored aspects of art and uncontextualized life features in the world.
