I Exist Because You Exist is the artist’s painterly and self-representative statement against any singular and determinist identity. The tongue of this self-representation reacts when viewers approach, both with movement and by reading the words “Seriously wtf”. The use of strong language protests the artist’s constant need to validate who he is through pre-defined cultural and diasporic identities, as well as his geographical heritage and citizenship.

NOwhere embodies his journey, battling ADHD and frustration from the confines of his garage studio. It reflects the illusionary attempt of making his presence known, a common dream among unseen artists striving to leave their mark. The embodiment utters the words “another ceiling,” echoing the perpetual struggle for recognition and breaking through barriers.
