Shedding light on what prefers to stay in the dark

Shedding light on the works that prefers to stay in the dark: "I like works that have a harsher context to it and are on the bleaker side for the color scheme. I think this collection reflects the thoughts of the viewer back on them, because the viewer projects their own interpretations onto the pieces. I like the openness of meaning and that it opens the door to conversation. "
