My Artist Statement

There is nothing more interesting to me than people and their doings. I have not been the type of person to stick to a specific hobby, activity or subject. Perhaps this is what attracts me the most to those who have concentrated great part of their life to something that they are so passionate about or simply just good at.
Sure, I have interests such as music, fitness and culture. But it has not gone further than karaoke, a membership to a gym and eating ethnic food. My focus will be to capture the experience of those who have gone steps ahead to master or practice an interest for the long run. Now this may sound too broad but for example, think of those who play in local bands. They do not live off of this, but aside from their jobs, school and relationships, they take their time to play music. This is something they do in the hopes of getting discovered, because they enjoy being on stage or some other reason I have yet to learn about. My target is to capture their interest, the why and how they practice it, enjoy it or struggle with it. Nevertheless, a goal to reach is to inspire those like me who have not quite developed such a strong passion for that one thing that makes up our whole world. But inspiring or not, it is entertaining and allows us to admire the talent and dedication of those who are doing something extraordinary for themselves.
