Artist Statement Omar Chavez

My image was of a gorilla. I picked it mostly because it seems similar to the word guerrilla. It expresses my identity by showing that I am as strong as a gorilla. I want people to know that I’m not physically as strong as a gorilla but mostly mentally as one.  I describe my artist self as someone who is able to express themselves through art. I want them to understand that you can still be strong even if it isn't physically.
