Director Statement

My creations are reflections of my own odyssey, tales of migration and displacement, sharing intimate narratives woven from the collective memory, appropriated or borrowed. They offer a means of grappling with reality, in a strikingly candid yet poetic fashion. My works are an exploration of diverse rhetorical devices of imagery, revealing a quest for truth through the devices of accumulation, ellipsis, and derivation, across various artistic mediums.

​

My interest lies in excavating personal and intimate experiences, and the manner in which they intersect with and manifest in the public domain. The body, the land, and archives of all kinds form my essential resources, allowing me to generate images and sensory experiences, as I traverse diverse mediums such as photography, videoperformance, and installation.
