I explore the ways in which people from the global south have been historically represented in text, images, and sound and the legacies associated with these interpretations. I am interested in experimenting with the moving image, animation and soundscapes. My stories inspired by the journeys of our Ancestors, the cultural landscapes we inhabit, and the worlds we imagine.
