Artist Statement “I work to create edgy, urgent, thought-provoking work -- a personal statement that acts as a narrative of my own aesthetics and points of view of the world, society, and myself.”

Plushpod admires his work for his creative use of imagery and color to make thought-provoking social statements on contemporary life.
