I work as an artist to animate my understanding of society, philosophy, politics, and the self. Through my art, I transform observation into a language of practice, giving form to my themes. Once a poet, displacement loosened my connection to words. What I could no longer express through language found its way into images. My visual work emerged from this gap an alternative vocabulary built from looking, sensing, and witnessing. As an observer, I bear witness. Bearing witness is not just part of my art; it is a necessity. My practice turns the limits of spoken language into a visual form of expression, inviting viewers to see what could not be said.
I feel the need to cast away borders and other imaginary lines. I have come to the realization that we are all immigrants, living temporarily in whatever land we happen to be in.

The geography of memory does not consist of borders
