Tonight is not just about art on the walls. It’s about standing firm in who we are, where we come from, and how far we have come! Every brushstroke, every detail, every place in this room is rooted in memory, resilience, and truth.

Culture isn’t something we inherit—it is what we create. It is the way we speak, the music we play, the games we grew up on, the fashion we wear, and the stories we pass down. My work is a mirror of that—unapologetic, loud, and proud!

Self-expression is freedom. Too often, the world tries to silence us, to tell us how to act, what to be, or what not to say. This show is my refusal, my declaration that art should not whisper. It should shout, confront, and invite conversation.

Every piece here carries the weight of identity but also the joy of it. The joy of being able to stand in a room like this, together, and claim a space for ourselves. So tonight, let these walls talk. Let the culture speak for itself. And may you leave not just having seen art, but having felt it.
