THE MISSION :
In each work you create lies a story of who you are as an artist. Whether your work embodies who you are, reveals an aspect of your personality, expresses your point of view, addresses your personal history/journey, and/or explores your unique identity, each artwork you create carries a part of your story. This is a worldwide creative search to uncover the story of one artist to launch on the world stage.
