Theory of the living

As someone with minimal experience in the creation of media, in terms of making films or taking photographs, I've become an avid observer and interpreter of images. I seem to over analyze images and always seek a alternative meaning in each one of the them. Images are very significant to me because they can represent thousands of emotions. In acting, images are key because we associate images with characters, emotions and the environment.

I've always enjoyed acting and performing in public and demonstrating the different aspects of truth and fantasy found in the arts. As a parent, I can use my acting to enhance my child's creativity and imagination. Of course, he also contributes to my creativity because I have to constantly come up with different activities to do.

As a new parent, I have also realized that a child brings out the best in people, their innocence and energy resonates in the atmosphere and can make anyone laugh. I want to make sure that my baby boy always keeps his innocence intact and in order for that to happen I have to make sure that what he sees in media doesn't negatively affect him in the future.


I am a big media consumer, I love the film industry and I used to dream about being on a billboard on 42nd Street, when I was younger. Now my priorities have definitely changed and I have to be more of a critic than an admirer. Although media is beautiful, it is a form of communication that involves different opinions and views, so I may agree and disagree with the image I see. It's all in the interpretation. Acting definitely helps me comprehend images and think outside the box. My mind is constantly full of images I see and these images are helpful when I'm on stage or working in front of an audience. I can also use what I see in the media to teach my son about life and his environment. I'd like to be able to keep media for children as simple and unbiased as possible. It might be a difficult task, but, when you're a mother you have to protect your child's well being.
