Window of Opportunity I

Artist Statement:
As a first generation born U.S. citizen of Filipino immigrants, my parents’ American dream for their children was to be able to live with endless possibilities of receiving a good education and pursuing a career of riches, so I would have the opportunity to flourish in this world. Grateful that they have raised me to work hard for what I need and want, my experiences have helped me realize that my American dream has been an uphill battle. In order to pursue an education my family couldn’t afford, I had to go into a deep college debt in order to attain a degree that is one of the lowest paying careers… education. My heart is set on educating future generations to be better human beings than those that came before us—both to Mother Nature and to one another. Ironically, my passion in education cannot afford to even overcome the debt I’ve accrued in life and college and all the debts and bills we face to even just live in a society based on mass production to serve an economic system. When will we cut the debt society demands to function in a world reliant on material wealth in order to live a life we wish to see for ourselves if we didn’t come from families with rich inheritances? This is one of my windows of opportunity I will manifest for me and my family and future generations to come. May this be the first of many manifestations that promote harmony and balance among humankind and nature as well as equal opportunity for everyone on this planet.
