“I am fully aware of the rules, the history of art, and the educated artist. I am neither. Understanding my limitations and accepting my flaws, I choose the non-traditional path: the path of experience, travel, and emotion. My eye is unadulterated. By experiencing a space for the first time, I am enabled with the tool of a camera to bring to you what I see and what I feel. Exposing the raw elements in its truest form, its purity. In Private Property I wanted to explore the sense of entitlement and possession of a person or land. Flaws are beautiful. My hope is that you will experience a sense of newness and familiarity to my imagery. Thank you for joining me on this journey.” — MONIQUE LAI
