If happiness is It, in what form does It take, and does one's identity manifest entirely from this pursuit?  At the core of my artistic practice exists a desire to decontextualize my position between the immediacies of both infinite and finite experience.  It is unclear to me How my ideas and actions influence my perception of reality.  Nonetheless, I have become aware of Why it is the way I am, and it is this axiom that has grounded my pursuit towards such curiosities.  I am obsessed with the ever-evolving duality between the finite and the infinite, wherein the meaning of ideas and objects have become the same.  It appears that I am always at odds with my perceptions of the two, and so, my aim as an artist is to find clarity within the space between them and perhaps define my identity's happiness.
If something has the perceived physical characteristics of an object, yet lacks its intended function, what then is it?  My recent project titled "The Latter of Order," playfully critiques how the perspective of objects change when the representation and presentation of "It" shifts from its original context. 
The way I see it, the moment a form becomes too abstract, is when language attempts to redefine it. For some reason, it appears as though I am driven to understand and conquer everything around me. Moreover, the social institutions that shape and form my perceptions also inhibit me from breaking away entirely from these conventional standards.
It may seem that my examination of the perceptual interpretive values levied upon objects act at the forefront of my motivation. However, I, too, become transformed during this process. There is no hierarchy given to the former over the latter; they are the same.
