ABOUT ME
I am a passionate blogger who enjoys analyzing films, television shows, comic books, and other forms of art for their technical style, deeper meaning, and intrinsic value.
In my own art, I aim to explore how fiction is capable of mirroring reality through a variety of artistic media, and to hopefully illustrate the value of fiction in understanding and handling reality. Fiction simultaneously allows people to discover truths about the world from a safe distance and to escape from the tiring aspects of life. I hope to produce art that achieves both of these accomplishments in the future, balancing enlightenment with fun.
