The artwork, I exist because you exist (2022), is the artist’s painterly and self-representative statement against any singular and determinist identity. The tongue of this self-representation reacts when viewers approach, both with movement and by reading the words “Seriously wtf”. The use of strong language protests the artist’s constant need to validate who he is through predefined cultural and diasporic identities, as well as his geographical heritage and citizenship.
