The "Boxed Emotions" series is an exploration of the artist's own mind. The "Boxed Emotions" at the center of the pieces are a visual representation of the dark and light emotions we carry, putting visual to them in order to let them move through them and let them go. The marbled black and white also represent the artists struggle to fit in, growing up in Los Angeles between white and black cultures. The borders surrounding the marbled centers represent control we place on ourselves, even as we begin to release.
