Artist‘s Statement
What compelled me to tell these stories is vulnerability. To me, writing, and especially poetry, can be used not only to express one’s most inner and deepest emotions, but also ones that they promised they will only keep within. Like a diary, I love sharing my own experiences and turning them into art because I cannot tell a foreign story that will be more unique than me.
