" I want my writing to create connection. My artistic purpose is the full blown reveal – which, quite honestly, I don’t feel I’ve reached yet. I want my work to inspire people to ask what they would be willing to risk of themselves artistically. I don’t want my art to be a statement, but perhaps a question without the question mark. "

- Nik Perez
