Through visual narratives, Šumski seeks to attain new perspectives on our nature, the societies we live in, and himself in order to reinvent our collective stories and myths to be understood in contemporary times. Every story can be told in a multitude of ways. Through the processes of looking at any given one from a variety of angles, Šumski uses his work to give voice to other people so their own stories can be heard and to be a tool of their imagination. He sees art as having the capacity to impart a sense of empowerment to overcome our doubts and fears and to connect people through compassion and empathy.
