Artist Statement

This story is actually a reflection for myself, as I felt inferior and scared by the unspoken rules of society. I hope that with the protagonist standing up and fighting against the twisted rules of the tyrant, it can remind us to stay true to ourselves even when the world is against you. To stand up for your beliefs even in hardships. Memento Mori. Everyone dies in the end. Our fear of death is what makes us human. However, what we die for is what determines us as individuals.
