My goal for the summer of 2022 was to ride a bike in Manhattan’s Midtown/Lower East Side. While writing other pieces, I was inspired to replenish a childhood dream I did not continue.

Artist‘s Statement
My writing inspirations are Haikuis, Young Adult literature, and Rupi Kaur. These writers inspire me to write simplified yet complex and powerful statements. I have found my love of writing again after taking some time away from it for over a year. Most of my writing pieces are wishes and hopes for me to experience something glorious in life that some may consider simple, such as romantic love or wanting to ride a bike in New York’s central park.
