Along this metamorphic expedition, a profound revelation dawns upon him: his feelings, instead of being weights to carry, serve as the fundamental cornerstones of his very being.
“As an artist, I get to be all the things I felt I couldn’t be,” says montyKeates. “I get to be loud, angry, tell everyone how I feel and not feel guilty about it. Through my artistry, I have learned I deserve to be heard.”
