Artist‘s Statement

Writing became my outlet for introspection when I realized that language was a barrier between me and my family in my childhood. My words allowed me to form a bond between my thoughts and feelings when I felt they had nowhere else to go. Over the years, my writing has both grounded me in expressing the most intangible, intimate parts of myself in words and helped me understand facets of my identity. Today, much of my work is centered around reflection, whether it be of the world or myself.
