Every piece of artwork is an expression. My artwork expresses the multicultural interconnection of the people living in my neighborhood, including the colorful shapes of different cultural symbols and the importance of talented people in our community who have walked the streets of the neighborhood I live in today. Overall, I have focused on representing the cultural diversity in my community.
