Artist‘s Statement
Writing is my main creative outlet. I write a lot about my culture and how it connects to my identity which is ever-evolving. My personal perspective is always very present in everything I write whether it’s lengthy research projects, articles, or personal essays. Despite this, I hope that the work I produce transcends the confines of my personal experience and resonates with those with similar experiences.
