Kaz has a unique experience as an artist. They are one of only 1-3% of the population that experiences a condition causing a lack of mental imagery and senses known as Aphantasia. They also underwent emergency brain surgery on the week of Halloween in 2018. Both of these have recently become of much inspiration and interest to them and their work.
