“To fully understand the concept of why I choice to create these series of images entitled “Floatography” is to first understand what drives me as an artist.  To me, to perceive something that is commonly perceived by everyone and then construct an idea around that thing forge a template in your mind for how you are going to redesign all the factors that make this perception what it is, turn it in to a work of art, turn it into something that the common perception would not have otherwise consider it to be is what drives me.  To me this is what “Floatography” is all about; creating something that people can relate to, something that appeals to their imagination that when they look at any piece of art it can leave a lasting impression on the mind which ultimately is my goal in everything that I do.”
