YESTERDAY WAS ANOTHER OUTFIT
Yesterday Was Another Outfit represents the change I have gone through over the years. Throughout life, there have been clothes I’ve grown out of and experiences that I have learned from. I use outfits as a means of expression; each outfit having their own story to tell– a representation of who I am and my own personal style. Objectively good or bad experiences are tied to what we wear, but the clothing itself does not define us.
THE PAST;
IT WAS WHO I WAS
MEANT TO BE
PRESENTLY DEFINED
BY MY SHIRT
AND MY JEANS
BY A FUTURE
NOT YET SEEN
RIPPING FROM THE SEAMS
READY TO BE WEAVED
IT’S TIME TO BREATHE

I often found it difficult to express myself to people growing up. I was diagnosed with Steven Johnson’s syndrome; a disease that greatly affected my life experiences due to its straining effect on my vision. Through art, I was able to find a way to express myself for who I am as an individual without worrying about being judged. I aim to bring my passions– music, fashion, and design– into one unified vision. My art has made it possible for me openly express who I am to those around me, while creating an environment for me to better myself. My goal is to show others who come from difficult circumstances that being able to openly express themselves without fear of judgement is possible and that there are always others like them, willing and waiting to hear their story, and support them in their craft.
