Whether at work, at home or in public, we have been trained to believe that who we are at the core of our being is often unacceptable. As a result, we work diligently to live up to - and sometimes down to - what others have made us out to be, whether or not it is an accurate reflection of who we are.

In my case, the body of work stands for itself... I think my work has been representative of me as a man.

Work needs to be a reflection of your social values. You are how you work!

I have met many people, and everyone's impression of me is based on my career.

I think I've realized that when you are aiming to create a real body of work, you are as much defined by the things you don't do as by the things you do.

My work is a self-portrait of my mind, a prism of my convictions.

We are more than the work we perform. In fact, I'd say that our work is a mere representation of who we are underneath.

I'm trying to make work that is reflective and is encouraging of reflection.

I'm naturally quite lazy, and I actually think I'm lax about my career. None of my work defines who I am.

In my work and in myself I reflect black people, women and men, as I reflect others. One day even the most self-protective ones will look into the mirror I provide and not be afraid.
